About Mary and The Shared Self LLC
Mission
Welcome to The Shared Self LLC!
My name is Mary Bartido and in this therapeutic space, I see myself as a guest in each of my client's worlds, and I am honored that they are willing to share their experience with me. This is why I created the Shared Self LLC. This space is based on the Filipino value of Kapwa where we are all connected, and we see each other in one another. We all have stories to share, and this is a space to transform, reflect, and heal within these stories. Currently, The Shared Self is online therapeutic services only but, I hope to have an in person space soon in the beautiful historic city of Savannah. Stay Tuned!
Populations
I have and continue to enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. When I have worked with these individuals, I noticed many face concerns with being neurospicy, anxiety, and trauma. I love being able to dive into these topics and more with my clients. It's amazing to see the growth, honesty, and vulnerability that I get to share with my clients.
Method
My approach to therapy is very come as you are. I encourage authenticity with my clients. This means if you want to rant about why your favorite tv show should have been renewed for another season, then let's talk about it. I want to know your world and truth. I do that by asking many questions and pausing during discussion. I will sprinkle in other approaches like narrative, parts work, mindfulness based skills, and EMDR. By being my authentic self, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for any client to share.
