Mary Cotten holds licenses as a Texas psychologist and a New Mexico psychologist. She has 30 years of experience supporting people with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and workplace or career stress. She also helps people sort family of origin issues, codependency, divorce and separation struggles, and aging or geriatric concerns.
Her main method is cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. In sessions she helps people spot thoughts that get in the way and practice new, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. The goal is concrete change rather than abstract talk.
