Mary Anne Byrnes, BSW, LMFT

HOPE for tomorrow! ...I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment within my office to nurture an atmosphere that is non-judgemental and safe to explore what can sometimes be clients' deepest secrets. I believe in normalizing and validating struggles that clients need to explore to find EMPOWERMENT for HOPE and RELIEF. I most enjoy working with family relationships, particularly parent/child r

elationships. I have worked with a wide range of ages from 9-65 on a wide range of issues including pre-marital, martital, divorce, family relationships, and individual battles. I enjoy empowering my clients to understand where they have control over their circumstances. I work with clients to identify how they can regain power to have a positive impact on their own lives and how to cope with areas they can't control. I have 6+ yrs of experience in the Case Management field working with families to maintain their child's placement at home addressing self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, defiance, behavior modification, grief/loss, minor addictions, divorce, etc. I have been certified in ScreamFree Parenting/Marriages and PREPARE Pre-Marital therapy. I also facilitated a support group for women who were victims of Domestic Violence.
