Mary Elizabeth Lente, LCSW
Mental Health Therapist
Mary Beth is a dedicated therapist who works with adults and couples navigating depression, anxiety, and grief. She helps clients identify patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and reach meaningful “aha” moments that foster growth and self-awareness.
Her style is calm, direct, and non-judgmental, creating a safe space to explore difficult emotions while gently challenging negative self-perceptions. Mary Beth also incorporates humor and a human, relatable approach to help clients feel at ease.
She focuses on empowering clients to improve communication, set boundaries, and move away from people-pleasing toward more confident, authentic living.
