You’ve come to the right place. I will do my best to honor you as you seek challenge and understanding. I hope to use my sense of humor and unconditional acceptance to create a place for you to accept and love yourself for exactly who you are.
Sometimes when individuals feel overwhelmed by pain, confusion, sadness and anxiety, it feels impossible or improbable for things to get any worse, muchless better. Gaining outside perspective and validation might be what you need to come to an understanding of who you are at your very core, and to like the person you find there.
How I Can Help You?
Would it be helpful to talk with someone with an objective point of view? I know taking a first step to find a therapist isn’t easy and I don’t take that show of strength lightly! No matter the struggle you are facing, I want to be a safe place for you to share your thoughts and feelings and learn how to feel joy again.
About Mary
I have a great passion for serving individuals, couples and families, and have for over twenty-five years. After completing a B.A. in Communication at Pepperdine University in 1990, I earned my M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Phillips Graduate Institute in 1993 and then worked as an intern for California Family Counseling Center in Encino. For twenty-one years, I have been in practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Orange County, CA: first at C.I.F.T and currently in private practice.
Mental Health Resources
Oftentimes, we need resources beyond that which a therapist can provide. I’ve compiled a list of local Orange County resources as well as some national resources and hotline numbers.
If you find yourself in crisis, please call one of the hotline numbers, 911 or go to your local emergency room.
For the truth to be healing and transformational, it must be tempered with grace and compassion; much in the same way that God approaches each of us.
— Mary Zollman, MA, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
