Mary Kefferstan

Individual and Group Psychotherapist and Reiki Practitioner

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow, and doing that work is most possible in an environment that is warm and non-judgmental. I take a whole-person approach that is grounded in EMDR and AIP Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Attachment Theory. I also enjoy integrating techniques from yoga, music, breathwork, mindfulness, and Transactional Analysis. 

My focus includes an emphasis on understanding the importance of how racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, etc. impact how we have developed and how we interact with the world. By honoring our experiences in the systems around us, I help people heal parts of themselves that have been rejected and shamed.  

In addition to EMDR, I am trained in Reiki and yoga. My background includes training in music as a classical pianist. I now specialize in working with grief and stress-based disorders and have additional experience in pastoral care. Throughout all these experiences, what continues to motivate me is that through meaningful connection to self and others, so much is possible.
