Turning Tides Therapy

Mary Barber Bussiere

ABOUT HER

I am a clinical social worker with a specialization in perinatal mental health and grief and loss. I support women through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the various stages of motherhood. This includes, but is not limited to, birth trauma, NICU experiences, adjustment to motherhood, and career navigation. I also have unique and extensive experience working with parents navigating medical termination, infant loss, pediatric medical complexity, end of life, and death.

Throughout my career, I have supported parents in unique and complex situations. I understand both the everyday obstacles modern mothers face and the unexpected challenges that can arise. I also understand the complexities of motherhood and grief through my own lived experiences, each in their own unique way.

The Founder's Note

"One of the most down-to-earth therapists I’ve met in a long time - calm, approachable, and as a mom of 3... genuinely gets motherhood on a real-life level!"

— Olivia, Founder of The List

now for the good stuff...

Favorite way to unwind
Trying out a new coffee shop, going for a long walk with my kids, and reading on my kindle
Morning routine must-haves
I'm a morning workout gal, which now happens at home instead of a studio. My favorite on-demand barre, Pilates, or strength class, yoga mat, water, and air pods (someone will inevitably interrupt me)
Current obsession
always cold brew and my recent obsession is yogurt pretzels from Trader Joes (so good!)
Go-to movie or show
Gilmore Girls and New Girl, love a strong female lead
