The past two years have brought painful, even traumatic circumstances on multiple levels beyond our control. Today, many of us are weary even as the world tells us we should be returning to normal. As we cope with grief, anxiety, and other negative emotions—learning to better attend to our relationship with our own bodies is critical to move toward healing.

Mary Brissett is a counselor at New City Counseling and has a master's degree in mental health counseling from the University of Virginia. She has clinical experience serving a broad clientele and enjoys working with university students, couples, women, and multicultural clients. She has worked in private practice in Virginia and Colorado and overseas, including Ethiopia, where she served with Women at Risk (WAR), providing counsel to women who are heads of households and struggling to overcome lives involving poverty, prostitution, and addiction. Mary was born and raised in Ethiopia to an Ethiopian mother and an Indian father. When she is not counseling, she loves spending time with her large extended family, traveling, hiking, reading, and working on house projects.
