Mary Lynn Hammond (Telehealth Only), LSW
MSSA, LSW
Licensed therapist helping people of all ages find hope through life's transitions.
Introduction
You’re in the middle of something — a transition, a loss, a chapter that doesn’t quite feel like you anymore. It’s disorienting. And underneath it, there’s often something that just needs to be said out loud to someone who’s genuinely in your corner. That’s what I’m here for.
My Approach
Sessions with me feel encouraging and hopeful, even when we’re talking about hard things. I take a strength-based, client-centered approach, meeting you exactly where you are and helping you build the trust and confidence to move toward your goals. If faith is an important part of your life, I’m also happy to bring a faith-based approach into our work together.
I especially love working with adults navigating life transitions — those in-between moments that can feel disorienting but often hold real opportunity for growth. After our first session, I want you to feel hopeful and encouraged, and to know that you’re not walking through this alone — that someone is right there with you.
I believe people who come to therapy already want to grow and heal, they just need someone in their corner. Honestly, I think of myself a bit like a cheerleader: I’ll always be honest with you, but I also want to help you see the potential in yourself that you might not be able to see right now.
You don’t have to walk through this alone. I’d love to be in your corner.
