Mary Baez, LMFT

Mary Baez is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 16 years of experience in a variety of mental health settings. As an LMFT she is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families to address relationship dynamics, emotional challenges, and life transitions. Her years in the field have provided broad exposure to human behavior and clinical practice, and she also serves as a clinical supervisor mentoring emerging therapists.

Mary prioritizes creating a trusting therapeutic relationship from the start, listening with a nonjudgmental presence to encourage genuine sharing and to help clients feel understood. Her primary orientation is person-centered, grounded in unconditional positive regard, and she adapts interventions to each person’s unique needs. Her clinical toolkit includes trauma-focused approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution-focused methods, applied in an eclectic, individualized way.

Working from a holistic, strength-based perspective, Mary supports clients in exploring their inner resources and values to foster self-discovery and purposeful change. She views therapeutic work as a collaborative journey and continues to learn from the resilience and growth of the people she serves.
