Mary Cate McGourty , LSW ( Located in Person and Virtually in MA)
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LSW) with a passion for supporting individuals as they navigate serious mental health challenges. My practice is rooted in the many dimensions of wellness—mind, body, and spirit—and how these intersect to influence mental health. I believe in meeting each person with compassion and understanding through a trauma-informed lens, working to uplift and empower them as they pursue balance, healing, and growth.
My ideal clients are motivated individuals who feel stuck, uncertain, or held back by barriers—whether external challenges or unresolved pain from the past. They are ready to collaborate on finding new ways to move forward, seeking internal and emotional growth while building the tools needed to manage life’s difficulties.
I specialize in working with individuals facing serious and persistent mental illness, often compounded by significant trauma histories. Through evidence-based approaches, I support clients in building resilience, coping with triggers, and strengthening their capacity to handle challenges as they arise. I integrate practices that honor the mind-body-spirit connection, helping those who are open to explore how this balance can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and enhance overall wellbeing.
With experience across a range of therapeutic modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused approaches—I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. I also draw from mindfulness-based practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy to support clients in rewriting their stories and reclaiming their strengths.
Whether working with teenagers, families, couples, or groups, I provide a collaborative and client-centered space where healing and growth can thrive. My goal is to help individuals move from feeling stuck to building confidence, resilience, and a greater sense of connection to themselves and the world around them.
