About Mary Sue Abernethy
Marriage & Family Therapist, BS, MA, RD, MFT, NNTS
Welcome and congratulations for seeking help! I love working with people who want to rise up to their highest potential yet know they have some blocks to clear out of the way. Often patterns show up in our lives and we can't figure out how to change so that we are manifesting what we want in life. I also have a passion for those suffering from chronic illness or supporting family members going through that. I was bedridden myself for over 8 years with a complex disease I recovered from. Don't wait any longer, get the support you deserve!
I have 40 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, grief, low self esteem & eating disorders. I'm trained in Energy Medicine (Donna Eden), Advanced EFT and Matrix Re-imprinting, EMDR & family therapy, Neuro Nutrient (amino acid) Therapy for depression, sleep issues, compulsions, anxiety, eating disorders or food cravings.
The unique variety of my training helps me to be good at solution focused therapy that is comprehensive. I have many tools in my "toolbox" to teach you to use at home that will help you be your highest self. Also I lost over 100 pounds using the 7 secrets I teach in my practice and in my online course.
