Mary Ellen Halloran, LMFT
Empathic, Non-Judgmental Therapy for Adults
Individuals and Couples
I believe that everyone encounters periods in their lives when they can use the guidance and support of an empathic therapist. When I work with clients I am respectful of where they are in their lives, and I strive to provide them with the insight, tools and skills they need to move forward effectively and productively.
The basis of the client-therapist relationship is confidentiality. It's important for a client to feel safe within the four walls of my therapy office when talking about very personal issues. Clients can expect me to respect their confidentiality to the fullest extent possible, and to be honest with them about my policies and procedures so that there are no surprises. For example, at the outset of therapy I explain to clients that there is one exception to confidentiality, and that is where I perceive there to be child abuse. In those cases, I am mandated by law to report the situation to authorities.

Bio
In addition to my professional training and experience, because I am an older therapist I can draw on my own life experience to give me insight. The seasoning that comes with age enables me to listen to my clients empathically and without judgment.
What I love about being a therapist is having the privilege to learn what makes each client "tick," and witnessing the progress he or she makes toward realizing their goals in therapy and in life.
