Mary Kaiser, LPC-S

Working with Mary has been truly life-changing. I came to her during one of the hardest times in my life, feeling lost and disconnected from myself. With her support, I’ve not only found my way back but have also learned to embrace who I am—quirks and all. She’s helped me see my own strength and reminded me that I am, and always have been, worthy. Mary is an exceptional therapist—kind, insightful, and genuinely caring. She doesn’t just listen; she TRULY hears you. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts openly. She never offers empty platitudes but instead asks thoughtful questions that encourage real growth. She has the perfect balance of warmth, wisdom, and humor, making even tough conversations feel approachable. I always leave our sessions feeling seen, understood, and empowered. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Mary and highly recommend her to anyone looking for deep, meaningful support.

Mary is a superlative listener and able to reflect back what she hears in a way that helped me understand and process my experiences in a powerfully productive way. She helped me to get to a peaceful place where I bring the best of myself to life.

Mary helped me greatly in restructuring the way I thought about myself, my mental health, and life in general. She asks the kind of questions that allow you to rethink your point of view in any given situation. She equipped me with all of the necessary methods to break negative habits and thought patterns I have had for several years, and she offered words of encouragement during every session. I cannot find the words to express my gratitude. Thank you!

Working with Mary has been fantastic. She does a great job of understanding what makes you unique and how that shapes the approach you should take to bettering your mental health. She's also incredibly talented on picking up on cues to identify issues you're unaware of or unable to verbalize. I've been able to take a lot more joy in life since working with her.

I have been seeing Mary for 5 months. She has been superb at helping me through the most traumatic time of my life. I don't know what I would have done without her! She is honest and blunt, but nice about it. Thank you Mary for everything!

Mary is so in tune with people. I could not be happier with the outcome. She always made it a point to tell me that therapy is like bringing your car to the mechanic - you don't want it to be there forever! She never rushed my appointments, and was always communicative with me

I started meeting with Mary virtually early in 2020. As far as I'm concerned she helped save my life. I was suffering from some severe anxiety leaving me crippled with panic attacks daily. She helped me work through my fears and anxiety to better understand them and give me tools to regain control and take back my life. I'm a stronger person than ever now thanks to her. She's kind and really takes care to understand whatever it is you need help sorting out. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough good things about my visits with Mary. I was never one to seek counseling in any way, shape, or form, I have always been of the mindset that I can handle things on my own and with friends. After a really hard season of my life, I finally decided that I needed more help than I could give myself and I found Mary. Even on video chats, thanks COVID, she is one of the most attentive and caring people I’ve ever met. She listened intently to all of what I call, my whining, and never once judged me. She never made me feel like I was whining, she always gave me wholesome and practical advice, and I always felt at peace after talking to her. Could not recommend anyone more than Mary.

This lady is amazing. I have been the lowest of lows and see helps me see a different view on things. She is my life coach, and I hope she never retires. I live an hour and half away and she is worth the drive.

Mary makes you feel at ease within moments. She is a down to earth, likable and practical person. She doesn't mess around with nonsense that wastes her time, and your money! She gives it to you like it is- every time I leave her office, I feel like I have had an eye opening experience, and that every moment with her was well worth it. I have never felt like she wasn't understanding what I was saying, she has an innate quality about her that not many people have- she is able to tune in on the most important comment or aspect of the concern- even if it was just a passing comment or something that seems insignificant to the patient at first. Her focus and attention on each patient and their individual qualities and characteristics is honestly just something that is impossible to find anymore. I am so glad I found her after several other experiences with counselors who I spent a great deal of money and time to see, but never really felt like I was resolving any issues. Highly recommend!

Mary Kaiser is quick to fit you into her schedule and once you are in she listens and advises as needed. She greets you at the door and never makes you feel rushed. The extra work and time that she spends sending out articles and links that support her advice, and you, is well thought out and shows that she genuinely cares about you as a person. She has helped me through some crucial and critical boundary issues and has helped me learn that I am as important as anyone else. She has given me the tools to be gentle and patient with myself.

Mary Kaiser is an excellent counselor. She is very caring and always able to help work through whatever issues I am having. No matter how bad I feel when I arrive, I always leave her office feeling better about things. She is very caring and invested in my individual well-being. I do not feel like a number to her like I have felt with other health providers. I would highly, highly recommend her.

I’ve met with Mary several times now. She’s warm, kind, honest, and caring. She’s truly interested in you. She explains her viewpoints to you in a way you can understand! Whether that is via dry erase board, educational handouts, or her own (well educated) knowledge. Mary is helping me through a very trying time in my life and I know I will overcome with her support. I am so glad I was referred to her. She is such a blessing to me. I would recommend her to anyone! She is nothing short of fantastic!

Mary Kaiser is such a find. I have worked with other counselors who failed to "get" me and had been apprehensive about the long drive to San Marcos. Now seeing her is one of the highlights of the week. She is so supportive and I always come away from our sessions with tools to deal with life's annoyances of all sizes and more constructive ways to get through them. So grateful for her wise counsel, integrity and sense of humor.

Ms. Kaiser's direct style matches my own, which makes for a good fit. Her insights help me to reflect and change my frame of mind. Her affable demeanor makes it easy to be open and honest with her.

Mary has a way of making you feel comfortable opening up and being honest without judgement. She helps me to understand where my feelings are coming from and provides coping strategies and resources to support me. She takes the time to remember important events and often sends supportive texts when I need them most.

I loved getting to meet with Mary on a weekly basis! I struggled with stress and anxiety for months before seeking out counseling and I found so much relief through our meetings. Not only does she address the things that are currently bothering you, but she also describes the physiology of your body and WHY it is reacting to certain emotions like stress and anxiety. I found our sessions very helpful in that she gave me a variety of tools to work through issues I was confronted with daily.

Yet another amazing session with my counselor. I really don't know how she does it but it is so easy to talk with Mary. Always helpful and supportive. Thank you again!!

Ms. Kaiser is a warm and caring counselor. She is knowledgeable about the latest research on the physiology of the brain and can explain well in laymen s terms how to apply it. From personal experience I can say Ms. Kaiser is great at marriage counseling, grief counseling, and play therapy.

Mary has been wonderful help to me. She has gone above & beyond with listening and supporting me through situations in my life. She has offered and suggested books, additional care groups and has extended her time with me. She has a big heart! Mary always has a box of Kleenex & bottle water! I always look forward to meeting with her. She always has a smile on her face! Highly recommended! ?? I also love the ease of scheduling an appointment with her, very convenient with several options.
