Mary Bulla, LMHC

Mary Bulla is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who supports people navigating loss, major life changes, chronic illness, mood concerns, and relationship challenges. She brings a compassionate, client-centered stance to each therapeutic relationship and adapts her methods to what works best for the individual.

Mary earned a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University and has three years of clinical experience working across hospices, community health settings, and private practice. Her background includes work as a grief and bereavement specialist in hospice care, counseling children ages 3-18 through a community health organization, offering therapy to teens and adults in private practice, and facilitating support groups. Personal experience as a mother of four and a breast cancer diagnosis two years ago has deepened her commitment to supporting clients facing chronic or terminal illness.

Her approach is collaborative and flexible - she values client feedback and aims to create a nonjudgmental environment where people can explore goals and move toward them at their own pace. Mary draws from an eclectic mix of clinical approaches, including client-centered therapy, solution-focused techniques, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral strategies, and art and play therapy. She works with a broad range of concerns, such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.

Mary welcomes questions about the therapeutic process and understands that finding the right therapist can take time. She encourages prospective clients to reach out to learn more and to determine whether her style and experience are a good fit for their needs.
