Hi, I'm Mary Eldridge!
I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela and I moved to the USA back in 2008. Ever since High School, I have known that my calling was to help people and I'm passionate about supporting others in their journey to healing. Currently, I'm a Licensed Trauma Therapist and I have worked with survivors of interpersonal violence, first responders and healthcare workers throughout my career.
Every person I have worked with has honored me with the trust of being a small part of their journey. I carry that honor as a guiding light for my practice and what I do.
To me, there's nothing better than getting to see the transformation, hopefulness and healing that comes with people trusting themselves and expressing their needs. By doing this, they have been able to experience restorative relationships where they feel seen, heard and appreciated. This would have been impossible otherwise because as Brené Brown says...
"Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance."
I would be honored to be part of your journey too and grateful to walk with you to reclaiming your self, your needs and your voice!

You’re not selfish.
You’re not wrong.
You’re allowed to protect your peace—and take up space.
Let this be the moment you stop silencing your needs and start honoring full yourself.
