Dr. Mary Walker

Dr. Mary Walker is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. She brings a long-standing curiosity about people and their stories, and a belief in their capacity to move beyond difficult circumstances toward greater peace.

Before becoming a counselor she taught high school art for many years, an experience that shaped her understanding of young people and their needs. She also served as a mentor in several churches, where she recognized how valuable practical skills and guidance can be when someone is working to overcome their past and build a healthier life.

She completed a master’s degree in counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology and later pursued a Ph.D. at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Her training has been extended to include approaches for working with trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, grief, dissociation, depression, OCD, life transitions, and anxiety. She has worked with many survivors of childhood abuse and with people facing challenges in relationships, the workplace, and community life.

Dr. Walker works from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and dialectical behavioral therapy frameworks. These approaches support a gentle, caring environment where individuals can explore what will work best for them. She views the counseling relationship as a collaborative journey, walking alongside people as they do the challenging work of change, and she regards those who seek help as among the strongest people for taking that step.
