Hi, I’m Carly

Hi, I’m Mary Eldridge

Hey there!

I’m Mary Eldridge, LISW, LCSW, therapist-turned-coach and your no-nonsense guide out of toxic job survival mode.

I spent years in the therapy chair helping women untangle shame, trauma, and people-pleasing. And what I kept seeing? Brilliant, high-achieving women blaming themselves for systems that were chewing them up and spitting them out.

So I took everything I learned as a trauma therapist (nervous system science, EMDR-informed strategies, polyvagal hacks) and built a coaching approach that helps you stop overfunctioning, set boundaries that actually stick, and reclaim the pay + recognition you’ve already earned.

My Coaching Has Roots in Therapy

🧠 Years of clinical training mean I know the brain and body science behind why you freeze or fawn in tough moments.

💓 I know what shame sounds like, and I know how to help you rewrite it into self-trust.

✨ I don’t do surface-level “say no more often” tips. We go deeper so your nervous system believes you’re safe to speak up.

🚀 Therapy gave me compassion; coaching adds the push. Together we’ll get you unstuck and moving toward what’s next.
