Mary Hooper

Mary Jane Hooper is the founder of Seeds of Change Therapy and a licensed marriage and family therapist. Practicing for over 20 years in Fort Worth, Texas, she sees individuals, couples, families and groups. Her relationship with clients is key to the success of her work.

She has completed the advanced training in a powerful brand of couples therapy, Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO). It focuses on generating internal stability to sustain each partner during times of distress and disconnect. Couples learn to change their conversations and to address unmet needs in a way that can be understood.

She has also trained extensively in Internal Family Systems, a body-based psychotherapy, that focuses on mindfulness and the role of spirituality to foster well-being.

This past year has been particularly challenging due to the social isolation in response to the pandemic. Most report increased anxiety and depression. She helps people develop a more compassionate inner dialogue allowing for more curiosity and compassion in their lives.

Often our inner dialogues need unburdening as they inhibit our ability to live with purpose and develop meaningful relationships. Learning to listen and speak with the intent of honest communication and true inquiry allows for healthy relationships, both internally and externally. Messages from our early family system and our cultural messages need examination. In therapy, people uncover beliefs that may not be their own, yet that have been governing their choices in life. People make life enhancing choices that create less anxiety and depression. Seeds of transformation can lead to freedom and true happiness.
