Mary Alice Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 30 years of experience counseling couples, families, and individuals. Mary Alice completed her Master of Education (MEd) at Lindsey Wilson College.

Mary Alice believes most people do the best they can with the knowledge and experience they possess. At times in our lives, our knowledge and experience are not enough to solve problems and live our most productive life. At times like this, collaboration with a licensed professional counselor can help us discover ways to solve issues and achieve our full potential. Changing our perception of issues can be most helpful. By adjusting our thought process, we can begin to see our problems in a new light, and discover solutions to seemingly insurmountable issues. 

Again, collaboration with a counselor can assist in this process. Old thought patterns can be replaced with new, healthier thought patterns that help us live our best life. The most important thing necessary to get you on your way to a more productive life is an open mind and a willingness to change. As a counselor, Mary Alice is your partner in ushering in this change. She cannot solve your problems, but she can and will assist you in learning new ways to achieve your goals.

I am a resident in counseling with 3 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions. I work with individuals who want to feel more grounded, confident, and understood as they move toward healthier patterns, stronger coping skills, and more meaningful connections.

I hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University. I use a person-centered, trauma-informed approach that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and strength-based interventions to support emotional regulation, self-esteem, and relational healing.

My goal is for you to feel supported, respected, and genuinely heard as you take steps toward healing and growth. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and empowering space, and I would be honored to walk alongside you when you are ready to begin your therapeutic journey.
