Mary E. Johnson-Palazzolo, LMSW

Mary Johnson-Palazzolo is a Licensed Master Social Worker who works

with children (age 5 and up), adolescents and adults with a wide variety of

issues including; self-esteem, depression, mood disorders, anxiety,

oppositional behavior, eating disorders, body image issues, stress

management, suicidal thoughts, self injury, parenting issues, and social skills.

She also enjoys giving presentations and hosting workshops based on these

specialities.

Mary graduated from Central Michigan University with a B.S. in Psychology 

in 1994 and received her Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University 

of Michigan in 1997. Her schooling has helped her to understand the

importance of looking at both the individual issues of the client she's treating

and the impact ​of the client's environment. Mary's clinical interventions are mainly from a cognitive behavioral standpoint; focusing on thoughts, feelings and behaviors. She believes that by overcoming negative thoughts and behaviors, clients can make positive changes to the way they feel. While Mary maintains the utmost professionalism in her work, she has a very personal, approachable style that helps her to build strong rapport with her clients.

Mary's biggest passion is working in the area of self-esteem, especially with teen girls. In her own life, Mary struggled with her confidence, mainly in junior high and high school. After overcoming her own issues with self-esteem, Mary wanted to help others to be able to do the same. Mary enjoys running groups and workshops for teens, leading seminars for parents and speaking out in the community about the importance of building up self-esteem.
