About me
Hello, I am glad you are here! You are either taking the first step on your journey to wellness or reaching out to continue that journey. I am the founder of "Wellness Place, LLC." After 25+ years of professional experience and study in the areas of social work, mental health and healthcare and many years of self-study in nutrition and philosophy, I have come to realize that well-being depends on more than a healthy body. On my journey through life, I have learned that mental, physical, social and spiritual components make up who we are and how we define ourselves. It is my goal & the goal of "Wellness Place" to help you on your journey to wellbeing.
I have practiced in the field of Social Work since 1993 and hold a BA in Social Work, Minor in Gerontology from Christopher Newport University, an Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Licensure. My areas of practice include healthcare social work, mental health, substance abuse, education, and non-profit, adjunct college professor, and I have published, and written curriculum for educational programs and groups. My Areas of concentration include healthcare, aging, death & dying, grief, oncology, chronic & acute medical conditions. My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Biopsychosocial Spritual, Problem Solving, and Systems Theory, but I use an ecclectic, individualized approach based on where you are in life and what direction you wish to take. I like to use very practical ways to address obstacles that are keeping you from the peace you seek. This often includes learning new relaxation techniques, use of resources like worksheets and websites, and proactive approaches to stress and problem prevention.

Mary Sudduth is both an awesome Marriage Counselor and is spiritually gifted and wise as well.
Our marriage is barely hanging on a thread and next to God’s Grace keeping us together, Mary is clearly the Counselor we both look to for guidance and direction. Thanks Mary!!
Mary has been helpful looking at both sides of the couples counseling offering ideas and insights to what we need to do as a couple to move forward.
Mary is very good at helping my spouse and I peel an onion of difficult emotions, one layer at a time. She is thoughtful, neutral and keeps us honest. We are learning much about us individually and as a couple.
I think Mary is great. She listens and also offers proactive advice!
Mary is being super helpful.
Great counselor, the material and support she is giving us is very helpful.
