About Mary Bulla

Hello! My name is Mary.

Are there changes you would like to make or difficulties and challenges you want to overcome? Have you lost a loved one, a spouse/partner due to divorce or a break up, a job, or a pet and are finding it hard to move forward? Do you have a chronic or terminal illness and are finding it overwhelming to navigate on your own? Do you suffer from depression, anxiety or a mood disorder? If any of these apply to you, I would consider it a privilege to assist you on your journey to wellness.

Working together, my approach is fluid and open to change based on what works best for you. That said, this is a safe, judgment-free space and I value your feedback. Wherever you are on your journey, I’m willing to meet you there and support you in reaching your desired destination.

I have a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. My experience over the last four years includes working as a grief and bereavement specialist at a hospice care facility, working with children ages 3-18 at a community health organization, working with teens and adults in private practice, and facilitating various support groups. Prior to my work as a therapist, I held various part time jobs while being a mom to my four children. After a diagnosis of breast cancer two years ago, I developed a particular passion for working with clients with chronic and terminal illness.

I utilize a variety of techniques and partner with my clients to assist them with achieving their goals. I have had varied experience in the helping field and I am passionate about working with individuals throughout the therapeutic process. I use an eclectic approach to therapy, using various techniques including person-centered therapy, solution focused therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), psycho-education, cognitive behavioral therapy, and art and play therapy.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like to talk more. I definitely understand that finding the right therapist can take time, and I take absolutely no offense if we try this out and you feel like it isn’t the right fit. Overall, I value honesty and want you to feel empowered to do what’s best for you.

“Mary is kind and is connected to what I am saying.”

“Best therapist I've ever had”

“Mary is a compassionate person who is excellent at what she does”

“She has changed my life. I don't know what I would do without her!!”

“Honestly the best therapist I have had, and the best therapy experience I have encountered. I am extremely happy with how well my therapist and I work together, and how she pushes me out of my comfort zone, only when she knows I am able to handle it! BetterHelp saved my life!”

“Mary is knowledgeable and supportive. She is always available via journal entries. I count Mary as one of my best friends.”

“Mary is always great. She takes the time to read my journal entries and works that into our conversation in a helpful way. She is never pushy but keeps my thoughts flowing in a healthy manner.”

“Mary is exactly what I want in a therapist. She is a great listener and asks questions to encourage self-reflection. Mary shares relevant stories from her own life to guide discussion about difficulties in my own life. I appreciate how Mary always reads and responds to my journal entries that I share, and offers affirmation to make me feel supported. With Mary's help, I have grown enormously in my own self-confidence, ability to advocate for myself, and establishing healthy boundaries in my personal relationships.”

“I’ve been working with Mary for a while now and I have really seen myself grow throughout the process. She took the time to establish trust within our therapeutic relationship. She pushes me when needed, empathizes when needed, and points me towards great resources to address the things I am dealing with in my life.”

“Mary is phenomenal, she listens, guides and always knows how to keep me at ease and on track. She is relatable, thoughtful and kind. I don't think I would have gotten through my last 6 months without her by my side. I went through some really extreme and scary stuff but she was always there for me at any moment I needed her. She was always steady and reliable.”

“Mary is knowledgeable and intelligent. She is always willing to listen and is very responsive. <br /> I'm very comfortable in speaking with her about my personal issues.”

“Mary is the most helpful person I have worked with. She is open, kind, and passionate about her clients. I feel like I have a safe space for vulnerability and honesty at all times. She is also excellent at providing advice on many different levels.”

“Mary is a rock star. Just keep working with her and trust the process. She will<br /> Get you where you want and need to be. It may take some time but you’ll get there with Mary.”

“Mary is amazing. She is the perfect mix of professional, caring, and warm. I always feel heard, and Mary always has great insights. I appreciate the support I receive.”
