Mary Kardasz

Mary Kardasz is a compassionate and experienced Marriage & Family Therapist with over 30 years of dedicated practice. She understands that new clients may feel apprehensive about expressing themselves without judgment and whether the counseling experience will be comfortable. With a wealth of experience, Mary assures that judgment has no place in her practice. Her office is a confidential and safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. Mary excels in asking the right questions to maintain a flowing conversation, skillfully applying her education and experience to tailor the most effective therapy approaches for diverse issues and demographics. For instance, her method for supporting a teenager dealing with bullying significantly differs from her strategies for individuals grappling with addiction or couples seeking marriage counseling; she recognizes that each individual has unique needs and varying responses to therapeutic processes. Holding a Ph.D. in Marriage & Family Therapy from St. Louis University, Mary has a specialized focus on relationship issues. Furthermore, she was the founding partner of Charlespointe Counseling Consultants, one of St. Charles' oldest and most reputable counseling centers. Mary’s expertise spans a broad range of therapy types, including Trauma Focused, Solution Focused Brief, Family Systems, and many more, catered to both individuals and couples.
