Individual & couples therapy · Claremont, California & online
You understand the patterns.
You’re ready for something to change.
You may understand why you struggle and still find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in familiar relationship patterns. Knowing what’s happening doesn’t always make it easier to respond differently.
Therapy offers space to explore what keeps you stuck, reconnect with yourself, and discover new possibilities for change.

Meet Mary Ortenburger, LMFT, CEDS-C, SEP, C-IAYT, PMH-C
Hello, I’m Mary.
I’m Mary Ortenburger, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and make room for the strengths, needs, and possibilities that may have become harder to see.
I offer in-person therapy in Claremont, California, and telehealth options.
More About Mary →A collaborative approach
Therapy that makes room for your whole experience.
Our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and bodily responses are connected. My work considers each of these parts of your experience, with attention to your history, strengths, goals, and pace.
Depending on your needs, we may draw on EMDR, Relational Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, Yoga Therapy, and attachment-based approaches. This can include conversation, noticing physical sensations, mindful movement, and exploring how familiar patterns show up in your relationships.
The therapeutic relationship is central to my work: a place to feel understood, supported, and able to explore something new.
