Your Retreat Host 

An experienced Mental Health professional for over 35 years, Mary

empowers teens, couples, Military Service Members, Veterans,

and First Responders to transform "the tough stuff": loss, grief,

strained relationships, personal identity, post-traumatic stress,

ethical conflicts, and moral trauma.

 

Mary's experience includes serving families in Boston's urban housing projects and medical settings. and working with Colorado-based Military, Veterans, First Responders, and their families via private consultation and 1-3 night Education & Wellness Retreats.

 

Serving as Program Co-Director and counselor for National Veterans Wellness & Healing Center (2011-2017), a Trauma Informed Care Retreat Program in New Mexico for Military, First Responders, and their families, Mary later returned her focus to Colorado. She now provides private mental health consultation from her Severance office, and multi-day Educational retreats for Military and First Responders via Pivotal Impact Programs, Life Coaching, Workshops & Retreats.

 

Always up for adventure, Mary enjoys traveling, hiking her dog "Butters", and spending time with family and friends. 

"Anyone who works with Mary Scott can’t go wrong. I was depressed, angry, drinking a lot, overwhelmed with my emotions, and on the verge of losing my job. Mary used various things to help me overcome my depression and anger. She is incredible: kind, considerate, patient, and willing to help her clients face their personal demons. Mary may not tell you what you want to hear, but she will help you find the next step. If you’re hurting or just tired of this mad, crazy world, she can help you find the light at the end of the tunnel.”
