Connect with Margaret Nichols

I love being a therapist because it allows me to connect with diverse people in a deep, meaningful way and to have the privilege of helping them on their unique journeys. I'm a diplomate in sex therapy as well as a licensed psychologist, and I have over forty years of experience. In my part-time practice, I specialize in working with people with sexual issues, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those practicing ethical nonmonogamy or involved in the kink community. I am well known for my work in these specialties and have published a book for psychotherapists, "The Modern Therapist's Guide to Working With LGBTQ+ Clients."
My therapeutic style is supportive, active and direct. In my work as a sex therapist and with members of the sex, gender, and relationship diverse community, I am expert in getting to the heart of the problem quickly. Because of this, therapy with me is often short-term and efficient.
Many clients return to me over decades, bringing friends and family. Within the limits of the therapist-client relationship, I get genuinely attached to my clients, sharing in their pain and rejoicing in their successes...caring deeply. And I'm old enough to be a little bit....well...wiser. Personally, I identify as queer, feminist, and a mother.
