We use the Gottman Method to focus on learning communication, resolving conflict, and deepening connections. While this research-based approach was originally designed for couples, it also works well for families that want to strengthen their relationships. In sessions, we’ll explore how your family communicates, how conflict shows up, and how each person functions within the family dynamic. Using tools like the stress-reducing conversations, and practical strategies for handling disagreements, we create a space where everyone feels heard and respected. Whether you're dealing with ongoing tension, major transitions, or just want a stronger family bond, the Gottman Method offers concrete skills to help you reconnect.

Individual Counseling

Through one-on-one sessions with your counselor, you can learn more effective tools that will bring you closer to the person you want to be, the relationships you wish to have, and the life you want to live.

Mary Congrove
(She/Her/Hers) LISW, Gottman Level 2 Trained

Hi, I’m Mary Congrove! Do you struggle to feel emotionally safe or open in your relationship with yourself or others? This can leads to disconnection, anxiety, and a sense of being misunderstood or alone. I’ve seen how hard it can be for someone to share their truth when they’ve been hurt, judged, or never learned how to express themselves clearly. As a therapist, I help people build emotional safety by teaching effective communication skills and guiding them toward greater self-awareness. I utilize my strengths, such as listening and genuine empathy, to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. When people feel safe, they can explore the parts of themselves they have kept hidden and start to build trust, both in themselves and in their relationships. I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples and families navigate mental health challenges. I earned my undergraduate degree from Ohio University and a Master of Social Work from The Ohio State University. I have completed Gottman Level 1 and Level 2 training and enjoy working with couples and families incorporating Gottman Method strategies. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing psychosis, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I provide therapy online for people located in Ohio.
