How Does MNB
Do Therapy
Therapy is showing up as you are. Sharing your experiences, feeling validated, and being challenged emotionally, especially as it relates to identifying and processing uncomfortable feelings. I have spent years walking alongside children, teens, and their families who struggle with getting along, feeling heard, needing validation, and wanting to support each other but are unsure which step to take.
I have heard parents say: “I just don't know how to reach my child. I'm at a loss, and I don't know what to do or who I can reach out to for help without feeling embarrassed or judged."
On the other hand, I have had children and teens say, “my parents won't listen, they'll judge, it's uncomfortable, and they don't understand where I am coming from.”
Does any of these resonate with you? If so, reach out, and let’s connect.

Self-Pay
Rates
Individual Therapy: $140
Being a preteen/teen can be challenging, confusing, and complex; my goal is to meet weekly for therapy as this could allow your preteen/teen an opportunity to build a therapeutic relationship outside of their immediate circles (family/friends) to help them feel heard, understood, and in a space that allows them to process their feelings in a healthy way. My goal is to help you feel supported and teach you ways to express yourself in an effective way to prevent you from suppressing your thoughts and feelings.
Family Therapy: $160
Is your family struggling with navigating changes such as adoption, blending families, divorce, grief and loss, mental health challenges, or trauma? As a parent, are you concerned about your relationship with your child and unsure how to support them? I use approaches such as structural and strategic family therapy interventions to create a safe space for you and your child(ren) to learn and practice new ways to communicate and develop new rituals to strengthen your relationship. I aim to help each member feel heard and learn ways to strengthen their communication and relationships.
Specialized Services:
$1,120.00
Once we determine that we can conduct a trauma assessment, we will send you the necessary paperwork to complete, along with a Good Faith Estimate (GFE). Please note that insurance companies do not cover the costs associated with risk and/or trauma assessments, which must be paid out of pocket.
Memorie N. Bush, Therapist
Hello, I am Memorie N Bush, I am a licensed clinical social worker and the founder of Maintaining Normalcy and Balance, Inc. I have 15 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, and understanding. For me, therapy is not about telling you what you want to hear; therapy is about supporting you, providing insight, and reframing parts of your unhealthy thinking patterns. I believe that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and validated, and when they are willing to step out of their comfort zone.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including community-based, residential, and group homes, as well as family-centered programs. In addition to these roles, I have conducted clinical interviews, risk and trauma assessments and served as a clinical supervisor. I have also assisted in training case managers and therapists to enhance their expertise in the field.
I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, grief and loss, life transitions, caregiver fatigue, relationship challenges, and trauma. My trauma‑informed work includes supporting survivors of sexual abuse as well as youth struggling with maladaptive sexual behaviors. I work with adults, teenagers, college students, and children ages 10 and up. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and helping clients build practical skills that support long‑term emotional well‑being.
