LCPC-ACS, LCPAT-ACS Mara Swan

Provides online counseling through BetterHelp

Mental health conditions are real, common and treatable.

And recovery is possible.

Mara Swan is an experienced, licensed Mental Health Professional who specializes in affordable online therapy offered through our partner, BetterHelp.

More about me

Licensing: LCPC-ACS, LCPAT-ACS Years in Practice: 20 State: Maryland

Hours: Mon-Thurs 8:30am - 2pm.

I have been in practice since 2000. My specialties include PTSD and ADHD (all ages), executive and business coaching. I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Art Therapist. The population I work with is ages 6 to elder.

I bring 20 years of experience to each session. As a seasoned therapist you and I will work together to make a plan to attain your goals. Health care providers and first responders are also welcome. This has been a trying time for all involved. I am accepting new patients.

I believe in treating the whole person. It is important to incorporate wellness coaching. We might discuss diet, exercise and emotional concerns. The mind body connection is vastly important. Finding alignment between these two may have a significant possitive effect.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have been meeting with Mara for two months now, and I have learned much more than I ever imagined I would! She informs you about your body and relates what you are experiencing within your surroundings to control your mind, body, and soul. She has recommended many great outside resources to help me improve myself, such as my sleep; I now sleep much better based on her recommendation. Her positivity and knowledge keeps me motivated to stay positive and improve myself constantly with my intuitions. Today was my first session where I was not positive and in a lot of pain, and she immediately helped me alleviate the situation, pain, and headspace I was in within one session. I am grateful for that and for her guidance to help me take control of myself and set boundaries to improve my health and self-esteem. I wholeheartedly recommend her to be your weekly guide through life if you are like me, who doesn't feel like you need help or want to improve but are unsure how.

My time with Mara has been by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. She is highly educated and has years of experience to back her up. I’ve never felt lead astray by her words. She always makes me feel better and I whole heartedly believe she truly wants to see me succeed in my mental health journey. There’s no doubt she listens, understands and makes her recommendations tuned toward me. Which I find to be an incredibly special skill set. I know she is talking to me with her advice and it directly relates to me. Not just something spoken from a book. I have come further in my journey to better mental health with Mada than with anything else I’ve ever tried. I’m so happy to have someone who cares, like genuinely cares.

Overall

I didn't know what was wrong with me. After talking to Mara for a while, she suggested I look into treatment for adult ADD, something that would have never occurred to me and the medication has helped immensely as has knowing what the problem is.

I have worked with 2 other therapists and 3rd time is the charm. Mara Swan has been a great match for me. She is very understanding and I love the way she wants to heal every part of you.

Overall

If I need more talk therapy, hopefully Mara is available because she has been a very wonderful therapist match for me. Having such a great match, I feel, helped me heal through some stuff much faster bc I was never looked at strange for any of my life thoughts or choices so I could be confident in myself and what I had to do without much static disrupting my signals/thoughts/processing. THANK YOU MARA!!!!!
