Hello and Welcome

Welcome. I’m Mary Ortenburger, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families heal from trauma, PTSD, dissociation, eating disorders, anxiety, relationship challenges, and nervous system dysregulation.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and high functioning. They often understand their patterns intellectually, yet continue to feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, overwhelm, disconnection, relationship difficulties, or the lasting effects of trauma. Insight is important, but lasting healing often involves more than understanding why we struggle—it also requires working with the nervous system, emotions, relationships, and the body.

Located in the heart of Claremont Village, my practice integrates EMDR, Relational Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, Yoga Therapy, attachment-based psychotherapy, and other evidence-informed approaches. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I tailor treatment to each client’s unique history, strengths, and goals to support meaningful and lasting change.
