Mary Okoth, LCSW

You spend so much of your life caring for others. You may be a caregiver providing support to family, friends, or loved ones. You may be a helping professional working in healthcare, education, community settings, or public service. If you provide care in any capacity, you may be the person others rely on. You may also be running on empty and finding it hard to prioritize your own needs. Witnessing other people's suffering, enduring long hours in high-stress environments, and navigating oppressive systems can leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure how to find your way back to yourself. I support people in personal or professional caregiving roles who are experiencing burnout, trauma, empathic distress, grief, or chronic pain. I offer comprehensive nervous system support, integrating EMDR, Expressive Arts, somatic and nature-based therapy. I provide affirming care for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and immigrant communities. I adapt my approach to meet your needs. I welcome the integration of your cultural, ancestral, spiritual, and creative practices. For those seeking focused trauma treatment, I offer extended EMDR sessions and intensives in-person and virtually. I provide in-office therapy in coastal Oceanside, CA; walk-and-talk therapy outdoors throughout North County San Diego; and virtual therapy across California, Florida, and Louisiana. The care you offer others matters, and so does the care you receive. I am here to support you. Please call, text, or email me to schedule a complimentary consultation. I look forward to connecting with you! Mary Okoth, LCSW | California LCSW #132127 | Louisiana LCSW #15226 | Florida LCSW #SW20942 | therapy@maryokoth.com | (504) 233-9546
