People carrying the weight of unresolved trauma, persistent self-doubt, or the quiet exhaustion of relationships stretched thin often find their way to Mary Krug. A Licensed Professional Counselor based in Portland, Oregon, Mary works with men and women navigating a wide range of concerns — from anxiety and mood disorders to abuse recovery, family conflict, and the kind of professional burnout that follows people home at the end of the day, humming in their back pocket long after they’ve stepped away from their desk.
Her approach centers on helping clients understand themselves more clearly and live with greater purpose and ease. Rather than applying generic strategies, she tailors her work to each person’s specific history and goals — helping them move through fear, shed beliefs that hold them back, and reconnect with the abilities and character they were born with.
Mary brings warmth and patience to the therapeutic relationship, creating conditions where trust can develop at a natural pace. She holds a master’s degree in professional counseling, is licensed by the State of Oregon, and offers online sessions alongside in-person care. Her conviction is simple: meaningful change becomes possible when people feel genuinely supported in the work.
