Mary Hazzard, MS, LCPC, Therapist in Scarborough, Maine

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, grief, trauma, or major life changes begin to affect daily functioning, relationships, or overall well-being. At LifeStance Health, Mary Hazzard helps adults throughout Maine develop practical skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. She provides individual therapy in a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward their goals. Mary has experience working with adults facing anxiety, PTSD and trauma-related concerns, grief, women’s issues, and midlife transitions. She understands that each person’s story is unique and tailors treatment to meet individual needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Her therapeutic style is compassionate, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence-based care, helping clients build resilience while addressing the underlying factors contributing to emotional distress. Mary is especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating midlife transitions, grief, and trauma recovery. Whether someone is adjusting to changes in career, family dynamics, identity, health, or loss, she helps clients explore these experiences with greater clarity and confidence. She believes that even during life’s most challenging seasons, healing and personal growth are possible. By fostering self-awareness and strengthening coping strategies, she helps clients reconnect with their strengths and move forward with purpose. Her clinical approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and faith-based treatment when appropriate to the client’s preferences and goals. These therapeutic approaches can help individuals manage anxiety symptoms, process traumatic experiences, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress. Mary earned her education from the University of Southern Maine and Loyola College in Maryland. Outside of her professional work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, and being near the water, activities that help her stay grounded and connected to the things that matter most. Through LifeStance Health, Mary is committed to helping adults across Maine find hope, healing, and renewed confidence as they navigate life’s challenges.
