Mary Alice Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 30 years of experience counseling couples, families, and individuals. Mary Alice completed her Master of Education (MEd) at Lindsey Wilson College.

Mary Alice believes most people do the best they can with the knowledge and experience they possess. At times in our lives, our knowledge and experience are not enough to solve problems and live our most productive life. At times like this, collaboration with a licensed professional counselor can help us discover ways to solve issues and achieve our full potential. Changing our perception of issues can be most helpful. By adjusting our thought process, we can begin to see our problems in a new light, and discover solutions to seemingly insurmountable issues. 

Again, collaboration with a counselor can assist in this process. Old thought patterns can be replaced with new, healthier thought patterns that help us live our best life. The most important thing necessary to get you on your way to a more productive life is an open mind and a willingness to change. As a counselor, Mary Alice is your partner in ushering in this change. She cannot solve your problems, but she can and will assist you in learning new ways to achieve your goals.

I am an LPC with over 4 years of experience and 10 years of experience in nursing. I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Through counseling and nursing, I have cared for people with mental health issues, including PTSD, addictions, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and palliative and hospice care. I have lived in many European and Middle Eastern countries, which means I have interacted with a wide variety of cultures and ethnicities. As a result, I understand that everyone has varying beliefs and values and appreciate that uniqueness.

I am the wife of an Army veteran, and everyone in my family has served in the military. As a result, I am skilled at handling stressful situations, especially trauma and PTSD. I am certified in EMDR therapy. My personal experiences, combined with my professional trauma training, enable me to provide the support that my clients need.

Tough times are usually only here for a season, but you can overcome these difficulties because you have an ally in me. We can work together, at your own pace, to manage your concerns and find solutions that align with your goals. I look forward to collaborating with you as you take this significant step toward growth and healing.
