EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy helps clients process traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD, anxiety, and addiction by reprocessing negative experiences. Our therapist completed Level 1 & 2 EMDRIA training to help clients rewire neural pathways and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Family Systems Therapy
This approach examines relationship patterns across generations to identify unhealthy dynamics. We address codependency, communication breakdowns, and multigenerational trauma through structured family sessions. Our therapist specializes in military family systems and has extensive experience resolving complex interpersonal conflicts within family units.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one sessions focus on personal growth, mental health challenges, and life transitions. We address anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and self-esteem issues using cognitive-behavioral techniques. Each treatment plan combines clinical expertise with personalized strategies tailored to individual needs and comfort levels.

Mary Beth Cooke saved my marriage. My husband and I have a renewed and better relationship thanks to her help. We went to her for 1 year straight every month and she was always there for us when we needed an emergency session. She got to the root of our problems. Thank you Mary Beth for saving my marriage to my man. We couldn't be more grateful to you.

She is top notch, she easy to connect with. As a Veteran this means a lot, compared to the way the VA mental health tends involve medication.

Report
Mary Beth Cooke was recommended to us by a fellow co-worker for couple's counseling. To start out with she was an hour late to our 1 o'clock appointment, in return she did not charge us and I appreciate that. That's about the only thing, Mary Beth was extremely unprofessional in more than one way. A few examples are that she asked why my significant other why they hadn't committed suicide yet, she also breached the confidentiality of another patient in revealing their name and that they were a patient. On top of the unprofessionalism she was very one sided and belittling. She

What an amazing person and therapist Mary Beth Cooke is. I couldn't be more impressed. I strongly recommend Mary Beth for counseling and therapy needs, and for EMDR standard protocol, and EMDR REP (first response) as well. I have had the opportunity to observe Mary Beth's professional skills as well as interpersonal style. She is consistently pleasant, knowledgeable and compassionate, and takes on her role as therapist with enthusiasm and dedication. I wish all professionals had Mary Beth's attitude. It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation and review.
