Mary Kate Clucas

Message to clients

I specialize in working with young professionals who are feeling suffocated by the pressures of modern life. Anxious, burnt out, and stuck reaching for behaviors that no longer serve them. I am passionate about guiding individuals who feel unsatisfied with how they are showing up for themselves, their relationships and their goals.

As a therapist, I believe that everything is relational. The most important relationship we have is the one we nourish with ourselves. I empower my clients to refine, deepen, and strengthen their communication, foster emotional intimacy with themselves and others, and address cyclical relational patterns that feel difficult to end.

In session, I am direct and authentic, utilizing compassion and humor to connect with others. I practice primarily from a psychodynamic, ACT/CBT and experiential framework.

What does this mean? I think that our pasts are important. Our stories do not have to define us, nor do they limit us, but I believe that if we get curious and compassionate about where we came from, we can begin to challenge some of our beliefs, reactions, and narratives that may be holding us back from embracing our most authentic selves.

I want to help clients understand who they are, where they have been, and how to get to where they want to be, and more importantly, how they want to feel once they arrive.
