Mary Hendrickson believes that understanding where a person has been is inseparable from helping them move forward. As a doctoral-level licensed clinical psychologist with more than two decades in private practice in Minnetonka, Minnesota, she works from the conviction that each client’s history — the relationships that shaped them, the patterns they developed, the moments that left a mark — holds the key to opening new choices in the present. That past-informed perspective is at the heart of how she works.
Mary specializes in adult psychotherapy across the full arc of grown-up life: early adulthood, relationships, marriage, parenthood, infertility, infidelity, divorce, career transitions, grief, caregiving, and aging. She regularly works with people navigating depression, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors — whether that compulsion shows up as disordered eating, alcohol or drug use, sexual addiction, or the kind of circular worry that keeps someone awake and reaching for their phone long after the day should be over. Online sessions are available.
Her style is confidential, empathic, and unhurried. She is less interested in labeling what is wrong than in truly listening to who a person is and what brought them here — because that understanding, she has found, is what makes real change possible.
