About Mary Alexander
A little less
figuring yourself out.
A little more listening.
Hi, I’m Mary.
I work with women who are thoughtful, self-aware, and tired of doing so much of the emotional work.
A quieter place to begin.
My approach
Curiosity.
Compassion.
Room to be human.
I’ve spent more than eleven years coaching people through emotional and relationship patterns. My background includes traditional naturopathy, parts work, somatic awareness, and holistic wellness.
I’m interested in the moments when you know something intellectually and still find yourself checking your phone, explaining yourself again, or trying to get everything right. We can slow those moments down and get curious about what you’re feeling and what you need.
Sometimes that means noticing a part of you that works very hard to keep connection. Sometimes it means paying attention to a feeling in your body, or putting words to something you’ve been talking yourself out of. We follow what makes sense to you.
And we keep the actual relationship in view. Your history matters. So does how someone is treating you today.
Away from work, I’m a mom of four who loves books, plants, mountains, quiet places, my dog Penny, and a little Real Housewives at the end of the day.
The way we work together
You get to keep
your own voice.
Our sessions are conversational and collaborative. There is space for a part of you that wants closeness, another that wants to pull away, and the part that’s simply tired. You don’t need to use parts language or arrive with the right words.
My role is to help you explore what’s happening with enough care and clarity that your own perspective has more room. Your choices remain yours.
Coaching and counseling
are separate services.
This website is for my non-clinical coaching practice, available virtually to adults worldwide. Coaching supports self-understanding, personal growth, and relationship choices. It does not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, mental health treatment, or crisis care.
My graduate clinical counseling work through Everyday Wellness in South Carolina has a separate home at compassionatecounsel.co.
A place to begin
You don’t have to figure
all of this out alone.
We can start with a conversation about what’s been happening and what you’re hoping will feel different.
