Flourishing Families Counseling occupies Suite 300 at 445 Marine View Ave in Del Mar, CA 92014, a women-owned practice founded by Mary Puntenney Mou. She holds dual licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 104993) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC 4906), and is a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credentialed through the Association for Play Therapy. The practice specializes in individualized counseling for children, teens, and adults, with particular depth in Child Centered Play Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Mary adapts her therapeutic techniques to each client's developmental stage and preferences, using toys, art, sandtray, and other creative modalities to help young clients process emotions through their natural language of play. Treatment areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, aggression and irritability, parent-child attachment, blended-family dynamics, life adjustments, and difficulty with socialization or peers. Parent consultation sessions are a core part of the approach, equipping parents with tools to reinforce therapeutic progress at home and improve the parent-child dynamic. Adult counseling covers trauma, career stress, relationship conflict, and personal identity exploration. Flourishing Families operates as a self-pay provider and does not currently accept insurance. The office is open Monday through Wednesday 10 AM to 7 PM, Saturday and Sunday 9 AM to 5 PM, and closed Thursday and Friday. The practice is wheelchair accessible, LGBTQ+ friendly, and designated a transgender safe space. Families navigating childhood behavioral challenges in Del Mar often pair this counseling work with the neurodiversity-informed adult therapy available at Soul Filled Therapy on Camino Del Mar.
