Mariyah Avery, M.A.

Pre-doctoral Extern

I am currently working toward my doctorate in clinical psychology at Widener University. Throughout my training, I have encountered the variety of challenges facing clients, including anxiety, adjustment disorders, and depression and have come to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual's struggles. This realization has shaped my approach towards therapy to be an integrative approach that tailors treatment to the specific needs of each client. No two journeys are the same, and this understanding drives me to create a personalized experience for every person I work with. Above all, I consider the relationship with oneself to be the cornerstone of personal growth. My aspiration is to cultivate a therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner selves and share their thoughts and experiences openly.
