Mary Koenig (she/they)

LMSW
Accepting Clients

Hi--thank you for considering working with me! My style can best be described as warm, welcoming, non-judgmental, and flexible.

Licensed Master of Social Work in Decatur, GA
Supervised by Ryan DeVane, LCSW

About My Clients

I am passionate about working with people who have experienced complex and relational trauma, queer and gender-expansive people, and those who struggle with anxiety, boundaries, and people-pleasing. I am particularly experienced in working around issues of relationship abuse. Whether you have experienced harm by a partner, a family member, a friend, or another close person, I am here to listen and work with you to rebuild your send of self-worth, self-trust, and safety.

My Background and Approach

Our work together will be collaborative, centering our therapeutic relationship and honoring your inherent worth and ability to heal. Together, we will untangle what you are going through and co-create strategies and skills that work for you and align with your values. I will welcome you and your full self into the therapy room, creating a validating, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed “judgment-free zone” for us to work in. I understand that, for many neurodivergent people, our ways of thinking and feeling don’t always align with society’s expectations. That’s why I approach therapy through a lens of flexibility, creativity, and inclusivity. That includes your interests, too, meaning that our sessions can incorporate music, art, games, role-play, or whatever works best for you! You'll likely find me to be laid-back; please come as you are, and I'll do the same!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we are all doing the best we can with the resources we have, and that we all deserve support as we work to break patterns and heal from trauma. I believe you are the expert in your own experiences, and that we all inherently have the capacity to heal. I believe strongly in the importance of gender-affirming care and of celebrating queer joy. I am firmly anti-oppression in all of its forms and actively engage in the process of learning and unlearning through trainings, readings, community engagement, and supervision. My approach is based on the principles of abolition, recognizing that the systems that shape our society also shape our mental health and that being in community is an essential part of healing. I love working with people on ways that they can bring their healing journey into the community outside the therapy room. On my off time, I enjoy playing music, reading 3+ books at once, playing tabletop or video games, or trying yet another new hobby.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
