About me
I am a licensed professional counselor who has worked with children, teens, and families for 4 years. I connect with children and teens through getting to know them personally and what their interested in as a first step. I feel building trust and rapport is important for the counseling relationship to be beneficial. I have assisted children and teens with self-esteem building, coping, assertive language, peer conflict, anxiety & depression, and family relational skills. Your awareness to seek help is one of the strengths we can use together to make your counseling experience as fruitful as possible. I will use your expert knowledge of your experiences to assist in helping create the plan that suits your needs. I am here to support you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mary Tobias. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Will definitely recommend
She is great! Relatable, approachable, knowledgeable. She’s very good about you navigating what you want your therapy to look like.
Great so far.
Mary made such a difference in my son's life. She was there when he needed her, always responding quickly. He trusted and felt safe talking with her. I will always credit her with giving me the son I used to know back. Thank you so much Mary!!!! You made such a difference!
I am grateful for the opportunity to have therapy and counseling sessions with Mary. She is kind and compassionate and takes the time to listen and ask questions, and her advice has greatly helped me manage my anxiety. She has helped me develop practices and a mindset that has allowed me to lead my days more mindfully. And this has helped me feel more confident in myself and my ability to navigate uncertainty. Thank you to her for taking the time to help and guide me.
Ms. Mary is the best at what does she listens and is very attentive I love talking to her and look forward to our therapy sessions. I would highly recommend her and teen counseling to anyone.
Mary Tobias is the best!!
We love Mary! She listens compassionately and truly cares about bettering her clients. She has helped my husband and I tremendously.
So thankful for Mary! Gave me great advice on how to handle a difficult situation. So encouraging and really helped me through a hard time.
Mary is phenomenal. She had helped me change my life for the better.
Extremely respectful and helpful. Very knowledgeable and patient. 10/10 !
She was extremely professional. I really liked her conversational approach to the therapy sessions. I would definitely recommend her.
Mary is a wonderful therapist. I only would rate her a nine because I have suffered long term severe trauma that I believe merit a ptsd or trauma specialist or expert. I’m unfortunately due to losing everything has me financially disadvantaged for the first time in my life. Mar is professional, compassionate, non judgmental, empathetic. Nothing within her control I have trauma that is extremely complex and I need services frankly I cannot afford. But Mary, she represents your company extremely well.
Mary changed my life.
Ms. Mary is wonderful. She’s absolutely a mother figure to me and her insight helps me regularly. I’m very lucky to have been paired with her.
I just finished my second session with Mary Tobias. I feel that she listens to me, helps me to put my thoughts into words and validates my feelings. I can recommend Mary.
She is awesome
Mary is very knowledgeable and down to earth. She truly makes you feel as though she is listening and also allowing you to make your own choices and realize things at your own pace.
Talking with Mary is like catching up with an old friend, one who dispenses invaluable pearls of wisdom when you need to hear them. She's easy to talk to and very insightful.
Mary was lovely to communicate with and has helped build up my tool kit to better assist my anxiety. So grateful to have weekly chats with such an endearing, genuine and kind human being.
She’s extremely competent
Ms. Mary is everything I needed in a counselor. I thank her enough for being a listening ear and mother figure when I needed her. Thank you for changing my life ❤️
I really appreciate Mary! She’s really patient and meets me where I’m at. I love that she asks questions or helps me to see my concerns from different angles. She provides exercises that really allow me to process my thoughts when I find myself really overwhelmed with my life concerns.
Truely a good person and an amazing therapist
After 2 sessions i have made great progress and would refer her to anyone for anything!
I want you to know that I am very satisfied with you and I really want to thank you for coming in my life
Ms. Tobias is a great counselor! I like how she allows our sessions to be more of a conversation. She also is very neutral when conflict arises. She's been very helpful. I would strongly recommend her services.
My counselor is awesome !!!!!
Thank you again, Mary!
Mary was an excellent therapist. She got right to the heart of my needs in one session. I would highly recommend!
Down to earth, she really understands people and has compassion for others. Mary’s ethics and moral principles resonate on how humans are to be treated, received, and respected down to the emotional level. Love her and would recommend her to anyone 10/10.
Mary is a great listener,and seem like she is concern about help her clients work through there problems.
I’ve only seen Ms. Mary for 2 sessions but I have so enjoyed each one. I look forward to the sessions with her each week and love talking about my sessions with her to my close friends and family. I feel like she really understands me and somehow knows exactly what I need to hear.
Mary was really able to help my young teen though a confusing time in regards to gender identity issues. In the few visits they had with Mary, I could tell they seemed more at ease & comfortable with themselves again— which is what I wanted. I hope to be able to reconnect my teen with Mary in the future. Thank you!
She’s a wonderful counselor and so incredibly understanding.
