Meet Mary

MARY FUNG-A-FAT, MED

“Life has a way of presenting us with challenges and moments of profound self-reflection.”

Life has a way of presenting us with challenges and moments of profound self-reflection. It is during these times that we often seek guidance and support, and I am here, with an open heart, to walk beside you on this meaningful journey of healing and growth. You are the author of your own narrative, and it would be my privilege to be a co-author, helping you find your way through the chapters that may feel unclear or challenging. Your journey is uniquely yours, and together, we will explore the path that leads to renewed balance, inner strength, and a greater sense of well-being.

Please know that you are not alone in your experiences, and your feelings and struggles are valid. I am here to provide a safe and compassionate space where you can share, reflect, and grow.

A Holistic Approach to Your Well-being

In recognizing your individuality, I've embraced an eclectic approach to therapy. Drawing from mindfulness, relational-cultural, and psychodynamic techniques, my aim is to provide you with a personalized roadmap to healing and self-discovery. Together, we will weave these approaches into a tapestry that suits your specific needs, aspirations, and challenges.

From Athletics to Counseling: A Passion Unveiled

My own journey, as an athlete and coach, has provided me with a profound appreciation for personal growth and resilience. Coaching players from diverse backgrounds offered me unique insights into the human experience, both on and off the court. It was through these experiences that my passion for counseling blossomed.

Collaboration

You are the protagonist of your story, and my role is to be your collaborator, your guide in exploring ways to restore balance and amplify your innate strengths. Together, we'll navigate the chapters of your life, fostering clarity, resilience, and empowerment. My ultimate goal is to equip you with the tools and confidence to craft a life that reflects your values and goals.

Who I Work With

Coming from Caribbean heritage, I particularly like working with immigrants and expats integrating into American culture, perhaps struggling with identity, and navigating adjustments. I also extend a warm welcome to individuals and couples from all walks of life, regardless of where you stand in your journey. Whether we're delving into your past, illuminating your present, or charting a course for your future goals, I'm here for you. Your relationships are an integral part of our exploration.

You don't have to navigate life alone. I invite you to reach out, take that courageous step, and let's begin this transformative journey together.
