  About

  As a psychiatric nursing professional, it has been Mary’s honor to work hand in hand with people experiencing mental health needs. This has been Mary’s passion for over 30 years. From school-age children to grandparents, she has worked with people at many stages of wellness. Her experience includes all diagnoses related to a general psychiatry practice as well as addiction medicine, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused care. Her use of empathy and skillful assessment ensures her clients receive the care they desire. Safety and education are emphasized when providing treatment. Goals are achieved by identifying bothersome symptoms and developing a treatment plan that supports healing and independence. Under her treatment patients are encouraged to ask questions and take an active role in their recovery. Life can be challenging and meeting with a psychiatric nurse practitioner can open the door to solutions and the end of indecision or uncertainty.

  Mary grew up in Michigan later moving to Upstate New York State where she attained her nursing credentials. She moved to Florida 6 years ago for the tropical weather and beautiful beaches. She is a fan of all types of music. She stays up to date on fitness and wellness. She has been a proponent of telemedicine for many years and understands its value in providing mental health management for her clients. Mary loves animals and enjoys boating and tries to spend as much time as possible on the water with her family and friends.

  About

  As part of the Mental Health Team at New Age Psychiatry, I am very pleased to announce 2 new therapeutic packages which I am offering as of October 18, 2021.  Each package includes 5 therapy sessions which consist of highly structured self-awareness exercises and proactive behavioral plans.    

       Package #1:  The Personality Analysis Workshop consists of two sessions of intensive personality evaluations, two sessions during which the client and I create a “Present Self” portfolio, and a final session during which the client develops one’s “Ideal Self” portfolio. 

       Package #2:  The Relationship Improvement Seminar consists of two sessions during which I guide the client through a “Pros and Cons” evaluation, one session during which I assist the client in creating a “Personal Ownership” plan, one session during which I assist the client in creating a “Separation of Past and Present” plan, and a final session during which the client develops one’s “Empowerment” plan.

  Dr. Wang is our program lead for the Medically Assisted Benzodiazepine Taper Program. She is interested in working with clients who need help coping. Her services are especially useful for those dealing with substance abuse or dependence, sexual orientation issues, PTSD, as well as young adults.

  She offers a very supportive approach to handling client needs by providing confidential teletherapy sessions.

  She has dedicated her practice to young adults who want private sessions from home attempting to cope with the understandable challenges of maturing through their 20’s; in terms of academics, career, relationships, and emotions.

  I am pre-licensed and do not accept insurance.
