"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to." - Dr. Brene Brown

By way of introduction, I'm Mary Durkin and I’m a board certified and state licensed professional counselor (National Board for Certified Counselors Certificate #339384; Virginia Board of Counseling License #0701007467). My academic degrees include a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (concentration Accounting), all earned from Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA.

A therapeutic conversation is often helpful in sorting things out, gaining a fresh perspective, reviving hope, and getting back on track. As your counselor, I am committed to providing you with a confidential and supportive therapeutic environment to enable you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences... to tap into your own unique strengths and natural resiliency...and to feel empowered to make meaningful changes that allow you to live your uniquely purposeful and satisfying life.

"Resilience is not all or nothing. It comes in amounts. You can be a little resilient, a lot resilient, resilient in some situations but not others. And no matter how resilient you are today, you can become more resilient tomorrow." - Karen Reivich, Ph.D.
