Meet Mary
I'm Mary Pinckney, MA, LMFTA, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, Christian Life & Relationship Coach, speaker, and founder of Total Wellness Therapy Services, LLC. My passion is helping individuals and couples reawaken to who they are authentically so they can build healthier relationships, navigate life's challenges with confidence, and experience emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being.
Over the years, I've discovered that many people aren't simply struggling with anxiety, stress, or relationship conflict—they're struggling to recognize themselves beneath the expectations, responsibilities, and roles they've carried for so long. Whether you're the one everyone depends on, feeling overwhelmed by life, navigating grief, or longing for deeper connection in your relationships, I believe lasting change begins with strengthening your sense of self.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I integrate evidence-based therapy with a systems perspective, helping clients understand how family patterns, life experiences, and relationships influence the way they think, feel, and connect with others. When desired, I also incorporate faith into the therapeutic process, creating space for healing that honors both emotional and spiritual growth.
I work with individuals, couples, and families throughout South Carolina through therapy and provide Christian life and relationship coaching for clients nationwide. In addition to my clinical work, I partner with churches, businesses, nonprofits, and community organizations through workshops, speaking engagements, and wellness trainings focused on emotional wellness, healthy relationships, leadership, and resilience.
My mission is simple: to help people reconnect with who they were created to be, strengthen the relationships that matter most, and build lives rooted in authenticity rather than obligation. I believe you don't have to choose between caring for others and caring for yourself—you can remain deeply connected to the people you love without losing who you are in the process.
Whether you're beginning therapy, seeking coaching, planning a workshop, or looking for a speaker for your organization, I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and lasting transformation.
