I would like to welcome you to Margeaux Donovan Gibson, M.A. Therapy Services! I am so glad that your unique struggles have led you to me. By being here, you've already taken the courageous step of seeking professional help for an issue you are experiencing. You've made a great choice, and I hope we can work together so that you can begin to love your life in the way that you were meant to. As a heart-centered, holistic psychotherapist, I provide supportive structure to the journey of navigating the inevitable challenges we face as human beings.

If you are looking for an experienced, compassionate, and non-judgemental therapist give me a call. I have worked with an array of people and problems in my 20 years of working as a mental health professional. My counseling approach is eclectic and individualized to meet each client's needs because although we are all connected we certainly are all are not alike. I am always supportive but I also believe that the issues that bring people to counseling are not easy ones so I believe in challenging my clients when appropriate.

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson. Are you allowing events in your past to define the person you are today? Choosing a different ending to a story that began years ago can impact your self-image and quality of life. You can learn to let go of painful experiences, discover inner qualities, and move confidently towards creating that new ending. My focus is on working together with you to find your inner strength and empower you to have courage to move forward in your life.

My focus is to facilitate change in a safe and comfortable environment. I enjoy guiding my clients as they process thoughts and feelings and move toward a greater sense of wholeness. I believe we cannot control anyone but ourselves and developing and nurturing our core beliefs is vital to healthy relationships. Life is too short to be miserable. Whatever our limitations, we can learn healthy coping skills. The ideal client would be someone who has a desire to explore, let go and move on.

I aim to create a safe and compassionate space to help you understand your experiences and relationships with greater ease and more joy. I hope to guide you in connecting to your own wisdom. If you feel ready to receive support as you navigate your emotional experience, I would consider it a great honor to walk with you. I hope our time together will allow you to feel empowered and hopeful. I believe that when we have the right support we can free ourselves from past hurts and old suffering.

Life is full of surprises. Some are good, some are painful. It has been said that "life is the constant creative process of holding on and letting go." I strive to help you move past the pains of life and toward finding flow, fulfillment, and peace. I am interested in the creative and unique ways that people come to thrive. I respect that you are here to address something meaningful. I want to help you find a path of happiness and peace after finding yourself down a path you never imagined.

In counseling, I believe in meeting my clients where they are and helping them achieve the goals they set for themselves. I want my clients to realize the decisions they make have consequences, good and bad, and like to assist them to remain accountable for their decisions. It is important for me to look at the client as a whole, to help determine the course of treatment that will suit them best. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Do you ever feel like no one understands you? Do you wish you had more support? How would you feel knowing you had a neutral space where you can freely express yourself without judgement, but with compassion and kindness. Well, you have come to the right place. My practice focuses on person-centered treatment allowing you to guide the pace of the treatment that feels right for you. I will offer a private space within a calm and comforting atmosphere where you can address your most challenging needs. With over 7 years of experience in the mental health field, my experience covers many areas. I look forward working with you.

Trauma, depression and anxiety can make us feel stuck in our lives, but there is hope! I believe one of the bravest things you can do is face your fears and tell your story. It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment. I understand and have experienced the emotional challenges life has to offer. In working together, we will cultivate growth by understanding the obstacles that you face and develop solutions that can help you gain control of your life and achieve your goals. Therapy can lead you to greater self-awareness, self-worth, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life.

Seeking professional help for your concerns can be an extremely difficult decision. I am dedicated to helping my clients find new ways to lead more balanced, healthy lives. My clients have stated the following regarding our time together; "Nancy helped me start believing that it's ok for me to be me. That I don't have to be perfect and she provided many resources that greatly helped me understand things I never had before." -Elizabeth."You have given me so much strength to believe in myself, to stand tall and to not be worn down". - S.D.

Looking for therapy where your gender, presentation, sexual/romantic orientation, or alternative lifestyle will be affirmed, not pathologized? Maybe you're grappling identity confusion, societal stigma, or the struggles of coming out. Perhaps you identify in these groups and just don't want your therapist to make them a big deal. This office is the place for you. I work with the LGBTQ+ community and consensually nonmonogamous folks on relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and addiction. I am also happy to write letters for HRT and gender affirming surgery.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unfulfilled? Are you tired of trying to figure things out on your own? That's where I can help. "Love yourself enough to create an environment in your life that is conducive to the nourishment of your personal growth. Allow yourself to let go of the people, thoughts, and situations that poison your well-being. Cultivate a vibrant surrounding and commit yourself to making choices that will help you release the greatest expression of your unique beauty and purpose." -Dr. Steve Maraboli

If I had to guess, you’re aiming to find someone you can relate to, someone who will understand what you’re dealing with, someone who can help you because they’ve been there too. The truth is: no one else has lived your same life. From day one, we are shaped by our families, our cultures, our experiences, whether triumphant or traumatic, and through these experiences, we become unique individuals. However, you and I also share several human commonalities. Like you, I know depression and hurt. I know anxiety and fear. Whatever our differences, I believe we can find common ground, and that is where the therapeutic relationship begins.

You may be at a point in your life where the problems are easy to see but the solutions are hard to find. If so, we are ready to help. We can help you feel better, happier and clearer quickly. Our team of 14 highly skilled therapists have many years of experience assisting people when they just don't know where else to turn.

Whether it's the everyday stresses of life, caregiving, trying to navigate the rapidly changing world, or trauma, I'm here to listen. I will be there to support you through the process of change. It is possible to find a path through to the other side of your struggles, we just have to find the path that works for you. I help people find their paths through anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and more. I have a special interest in working with people who have developmental or intellectual disorders, or caregivers of such people.

I am interested in helping my clients live their best lives possible, working with them to create a toolkit of coping skills based on their strengths. I believe our lives are shaped by our past experiences, but they don't define the person we are today. Let's clarify what is important to you in your life currently, and how we can work together to move you through what is making you feel emotionally or physically "stuck".
