“Mary was my supervisor as I moved through the Registered Expressive Arts Therapist credentialing process. I had a truly wonderful time working with her and felt like I gained new, tangible skills as well as a broader scope of practice-centered understanding. Mary was incredibly responsive to my needs and the nuances of my learning style. She helped me improve my knowledge of theory, develop new strategies for applying it, and remember to uplift my own self-care and creative vitality along the way. I very highly recommend her as a supervisor, educator, and consultant.”
