Biography:

Mary K Wills, LISW-S is an outpatient therapist and clinical supervisor. As a behavioral health therapist at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center, Mary is dedicated to improving access to integrated care, so that patients can address both their behavioral health symptoms as well as underlying health concerns. Her experience includes working with a broad range of populations, including adults, children, families, couples, geriatrics, LGBTQIA+, dual diagnosis, developmentally delayed, Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries, grant funded services, private insurance, and corrections.  And she has experience in diverse social work settings, such as inpatient psychiatric hospital, community-based services, schools, in-home community mental health counseling, corrections and office-based and hospital-based integrated care.  
 
Mary is specifically skilled in treating trauma, anxiety and grief/loss. She has developed multiple grief and loss programs based on the Kubler-Ross model, and approaches treatment with empathy and understanding. Mary is trained in treatment modalities, including EMDR, TF-CBT, motivational interviewing and DBT. 
 
Mary holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Mount Union and a Master of Science in Social Administration and a certificate in Global Health from Case Western Reserve University. While at Case Western Reserve University, Mary studied abroad in Northern India to learn more about the effects of poverty on global health. She completed her undergraduate internships at a subsidized housing program in Stark County and Stark County Family Court with the juvenile pre-trial division. Her graduate school internships were completed at an inpatient behavioral health center in Willoughby, OH and at Marion Sterling Elementary School in Cleveland, Ohio’s Central neighborhood. Many of the murals painted in Marion Sterling were painted by Mary and her students.
