Meet Mary Bello
Before I could release the weight of my sadness and pain, I first had to honor its existence.
― Yung Pueblo
I’ve always had a sincere desire to support and uplift others, especially those that feel alone, ashamed, and misunderstood. It is my hope to empower clients to understand and embrace who they are, strengthen their resilience, and to trust themselves to effectively manage life's challenges.
I work with individual adults and teens who have endured trauma, those who are struggling with their identity and self worth, and those who need help navigating a new phase in life. I am passionate about providing inclusive and culturally-informed care, including supporting other people of color navigate personal issues within the context of systemic marginalization and discrimination.
I know this work can be hard and feel daunting, but I believe real growth and healing can happen when you keep on showing up for yourself. If you'd like to learn more about how I show up for my clients, I encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if we’d be a good fit.
