Finding Hope Consulting

Translating cutting edge relational neuroscience into everyday activities that anyone can use to promote healing, resiliency and hope.

Founded in 2007 by Mary Vicario, Finding Hope Consulting addresses the gap in training available to communities by turning current brain chemistry research into practical interventions for children, adults and people with developmental disabilities who have experienced trauma. Through interactive and entertaining training, Finding Hope brings neurobiology to life using common language and interventions for clinicians, caseworkers, birth and foster parents, developmental disabilities service providers and others. In addition to training, Finding Hope Consulting provides “theory to practice” consultation to help you immediately apply your learning to your daily interactions with those you serve. Contact us at:

The behavior makes more sense once you understand what's underneath it.

Familiar isn't the same as right. There's a life waiting on the other side of new.

We’re so glad to share something new.

Kelly Mahler and Mary Vicario, LPCC-S, are teaming up for a live course: Interoception & Complex Trauma: Understanding What the Body Has Learned.

Support is not inherently supportive. A strategy can look gentle and trauma-informed from the outside, yet feel like pressure or a loss of control to a body shaped by early adversity.

When we understand what a body may have learned, confusing behaviors and responses can start to make sense. They often reflect survival skills and strengths. And that understanding can guide us toward support that fits what the person actually needs.

Together, Kelly and Mary will explore real-world scenarios, the stress response, and how to move from understanding to individualized support.

50 years of connection, courage, and change. 💛

Fifty years ago, Jean Baker Miller’s groundbreaking work changed how we understand connection and healing. This October, scholars, clinicians, educators, and practitioners are coming together at Wellesley College to celebrate that legacy and shape the next 50 years of Relational-Cultural Theory.

Trauma touches nearly everyone we serve — and often, it touches us too. This 5-hour, 5-CEU training digs into the neuroscience of relationships, attachment, and healing, and gives you real tools to build resilience in the people you support and in yourself.
