Evidence-Based Support Remotely Delivered

Dr. Mabry uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process and heal from distressing experiences. This approach centers on understanding the impact of traumatic events and developing coping strategies to reduce their ongoing effects, particularly for children and adults who have witnessed or endured abuse or violence.

She also offers grief-focused support that helps individuals navigate loss and the emotional adjustments that follow. These sessions combine practical coping techniques with space to explore the personal meaning of loss and to build routines that support adjustment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Dr. Mabry collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as therapy progresses.
