Hello, I’m Mary Ann Byerly(she/her/hers)
I created this website because I know it is essential to connect with your counselor. It might be helpful if I share what clients have told me they value about working with me. While they often choose me because I focus on proven approaches like CBT, HRT, ACT, and ERP, they especially appreciate my honest feedback and genuine acceptance of who they are. They develop trust through my competence and compassion, which allows them to feel safe and supported. Clients also learn that successful therapy involves working together to set goals, gain awareness, and develop skills to create change. Whoever you entrust with your care, I wish you the best in your path to grow as a person.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I completed my master’s in counseling at the University of Arizona. I received additional training in several evidence-based counseling therapies for Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior, (OCD, BDD, and BFRB) which allows me to offer optimal therapy based on individual needs.
I was a community caseworker and clinical research manager before being drawn to counseling. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and am committed to being a culturally sensitive counselor. I am also dedicated to providing respectful, inclusive counseling to all and have experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients.
I am available for in-person counseling or teletherapy anywhere in Kansas or Montana. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents 13 years of age and up.
