Mary Kate Carey, MEd, LCPC
EMDR and Addiction Therapist in Naperville, IL
“I specialize in working with adults and emerging adults who are feeling suffocated by the pressures of modern life: anxious, burnt out, and stuck reaching for behaviors that no longer serve them. I am passionate about guiding individuals who feel unsatisfied with how they are showing up for themselves, their relationships and their goals.”
Mary Kate specializes in working with professionals who are feeling suffocated by the pressures of modern life. Anxious, burnt out, and stuck reaching for behaviors that no longer serve them.
Above all, Mary Kate believes that everything is relational, and that the most important relationship we have is the one we nourish with ourselves. She empowers her clients to refine, deepen, and strengthen their communication, foster emotional intimacy with themselves and others. She helps to address cyclical relational patterns that feel difficult to end.
In session, Mary Kate is direct, genuine and warm. She uses her innate compassion and humor to connect with others. She practices primarily from a strengths-based, psychodynamic and ACT framework. Additionally, she is trained in EMDR, experiential therapy, and Gottman Therapy.
Mary Kate has a decade of experience working in a variety of treatment settings, but has found immeasurable value, and her “home” in the longer-term work that individual therapy can provide. She works primarily with issues related to anxiety, trauma, addiction, relational challenges and coaching. Mary Kate does not believe there is a “one-size fits all” method to personal growth. She believes that a holistic, collaborative approach to therapy brings about the most benefit to her clients.
Professional responsibilities can intersect with mental health in complicated ways. Stress, workplace challenges, addiction, and unresolved experiences can affect both professional life and personal well-being.
Mary Kate provides a space to examine these concerns, better understand patterns, and work toward meaningful change.
Mary Kate offers appointments from Monday to Friday during daytime hours, with both in-person and virtual options available.
