My name is Teresa Maguire, and I have been a psychotherapist (LCSW-R) for 25 years. I work primarily with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, gender identity concerns, relationship problems, and LGBTQ issues.

Talking is not always the best approach to therapy-especially if you are someone who struggles with opening up or finding words for your feelings.

In my work as a clinical psychologist, I believe the connection between therapist and client to be the most important agent of change. Healing happens best in the context of a warm, collaborative and supportive relationship. When an individual is going through a difficult time or life experience, he or she often feels small, disconnected and incapable of making positive changes on his or her own. In safe connection, it becomes possible for the individual to feel empowered, connected and more flexible and capable of making the decisions and behavioral changes necessary to heal and/or move forward.

Through a deeper understanding of yourself, you can transform emotional suffering & live more authentically.

The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, and we all need to find ways of navigating the changes in our lives. Though it can be difficult and uncomfortable, change is an opportunity to reevaluate your priorities and find a greater sense of balance and calm. And as a therapist, I specialize in supporting young adults and premarital and marital couples who experience challenges in their relationships, chronic illness, grief, or everyday life.
