Meet Mary Allison

Welcome to a

Legacy of Healing

A Legacy of Healing is built on one simple truth: healing starts with you.

Not as an afterthought, but as the foundation for absolutely everything else in your life. My mission is to help you let go of the habits that keep you disconnected from yourself so you can step into a life that feels grounded, nourishing, and deeply fulfilling.

Whether you’re here to quiet your inner critic, build self-care practices that actually feel good, or work through deeper emotional patterns, you’re not alone on this journey. And you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Hi, I’m Mary Allison

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, mental health therapist, speaker, author, and your personal guide to creating a legacy of healing in your own life. My work stands at the intersection of professional expertise and lived experience.

I don’t just talk the talk - I walk the walk.

With over a decade of experience, a master’s degree, and a post-graduate certificate from the University of Washington, I’ve made it my life’s mission to help people heal from the inside out. My approach blends practical, actionable steps with a heaping dose of compassion and empathy - because real change only happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported.

What Lights Me Up Professionally:

Generational Trauma and Healing: Helping individuals break the cycles of pain and patterns that have been passed down so they can create a fresh start for themselves and future generations.

Compassion Fatigue and Burnout Prevention: Supporting caregivers, helpers, and professionals to refill their emotional tanks and rediscover the joy and purpose in what they do—without running on fumes.

If I could teach everyone in the world one thing, it’d be this:
How to acknowledge, honor, and meet your own needs consistently — without guilt, shame, or judgment.

Imagine the ripple effect that could have... magic, right?

If you’re ready to start a conversation about how my message and mission can support your group or organization, I’d love to hear from you.

My Guiding Beliefs & Core Values

  • Taking care of yourself isn’t indulgent - it’s a responsibility.

    When you prioritize yourself, you’re not just tending to your own needs—you’re honoring your life, your relationships, and the impact you have on the world around you. True self-care isn’t about bubble baths or quick fixes; it’s about making the radical decision to respect yourself enough to consistently meet your own needs even when it’s hard. When you treat self-care as an ethical imperative, you give others permission to do the same — and that’s how we create lasting change.

  • Healing is messy, nonlinear, and often uncomfortable — but it is always possible.

    Even in your hardest moments, there is a thread of resilience within you, pulling you toward something better. This kind of hope isn’t passive—it’s an act of defiance. Healing doesn’t mean erasing the past; it means transforming your relationship with it, allowing you to step into your future with strength and purpose.

  • Healing requires bravery — the courage to look inward, to challenge old patterns, and to choose yourself even when it feels unfamiliar.

    Growth requires discomfort, and every bold, beautiful transformation starts with a single act of courage. It’s what allows you to challenge old patterns, to trust yourself, and to take up space in a way that feels true to who you are. Every act of self-honoring - whether it’s setting a boundary, speaking your truth, or putting your needs first —is an act of courage.

  • We heal in relationship with others. True community isn’t built on perfection - it’s built on honesty, vulnerability, and the willingness to show up authentically.

    When we commit to truthfulness - with ourselves and with each other - we create spaces where real healing can happen. Transparency allows for deep, authentic connections where everyone is supported in their growth. Healing isn’t just personal - it’s collective.

  • Healing isn’t about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about making space for complexity - holding both the light and the dark, the struggle and the success.

    This work can be challenging and it’s worth it. Their needs matter and so do yours. You can feel pain and you can still experience deep joy - both are part of your unique story.

    True healing happens when we make room for all of it—the hard and the hopeful, the grief and the growth. You are already whole, even as you continue to evolve.
