Welcome! My name is Margaret Mui and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of experience in the field. I work with adults, couples, and children in areas of emotional health, stress reduction, interpersonal relationships, understanding family dynamics, couples therapy, parenting skills and helping the person/family to succeed through insight and strength building. My approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian Perspective Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Relaxation, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

Real change comes from understanding why our impulses and behaviors hold us back from experiencing our true potential and discovering the skills to create change. My goal is to help you better understand the challenges you and your family may be experiencing and work together towards a healthier way of functioning. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer over 10 years of experience providing therapy to children, young adults and families.

Life is filled with ups, downs, the good, the bad, and the mundane. Mental health can sometimes be a struggle, but you don't have to face it alone. You are worthy of understanding, being heard, seen, loved, and appreciated. If you are seeking a listening ear today, I am honored to provide a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings together. Whether you are here to find support and insight into personal growth and well-being, or you are a parent who wants to discuss the invisible mental load in parenthood and seeks guidance. I look forward to learning about your stories and growing with you.

People often seek therapy because of the people in their lives that refuse it; this is what drove me to become a therapist. My passion for therapy stemmed from growing up with unhealthy family relationships due to negative communication patterns. I witnessed how people who love one another can subtly damage their relationship and turn a good-intentioned bond into a toxic chain. Mainly, my desire to become a therapist emanated from others’ refusal to receive therapy - as if it were a platform of judgement and subjectivity. This also influenced the areas that I chose to specialize in and my approach in therapy.

Anxiety, Depression and relationship issues can range from restricting to debilitating. You may have difficulty making decisions or suffer from fears. Sadness, eating, sleeping or related physical ailments can keep you from being your best. For children, behavior is their indicator. Family or life with your partner may not be what you planned. Or maybe it’s a change in your life, even one that is supposed to be happy, and you’re not. You don’t like the path your life is taking. You don’t have to live that way. There is treatment. And it works.

I am a licensed psychologist based in Bay Ridge who works with adolescents and adults of all ages and backgrounds. We all experience pain in our lives which is very individual and personal. I treat those who experience a wide variety of pain, which may include struggles with anxiety, depression, anger, life transitions, bereavement, relationship conflicts, trauma, and professional obstacles. In addition to aiming to provide a supportive and collaborative therapy experience, my philosophy is that there are many roads to healing - therefore, I take on an integrative stance in my work, and use a variety of treatment approaches.

Thank you for taking the time for yourself. Speaking to a therapist is a proactive move that a person can make to work through an issue or event that one is experiencing and possibly struggling with. Mental health is as important as our physical health and impacts all areas of our lives.

I had my first rewarding experience as a client in therapy in high school. It was because of her that I went on to make my career in mental health. I think we spend much too much time obsessing over physical health when mental health is just as important and is often directly connected to your physical health. I look forward to working with you to identify the areas of your life that you’d like to see change as well as building the tools necessary to maintain that change. You deserve to feel safe and content in your life at all times. I hope you’ll give me the chance to help you get there because it is possible!

Do you find yourself feeling confused, lost, or misunderstood in a world where the only constant is change? Are you having trouble opening up to the people around you out of fear of judgment? Asking for help can be difficult, but therapy can serve as the first step toward taking back your autonomy. Sometimes, to get what we need, we rely on the skills that have, out of habit, come to be like second nature. Our ability to get what we need does not always equate to using healthy mechanisms to do so. Together we can identify different aspects of your identity in order to replace any negative coping strategies.

Therapy is an opportunity for you to work on developing how "you want the next chapter of your life to read". I have over twenty years of experience in working with people to help them work through many different issues in their lives, both from their past and/or their present. It is very important to understand the stress that a person is experiencing and develop positive skills to decrease and manage the stress. I work with individuals to create a positive plan to master these skills.

I strive to make my clients feel safe, comfortable, heard, and understood from our first session. I believe the connection between therapist and client is essential to emotional growth and change and to establishing a relationship with trust, warmth, honesty, and mutual respect. I help my clients to use their strengths to solve here- and- now problems. I also help to address more entrenched issues that are negatively affecting the ability to feel happy and to reach goals. My style is holistic, interactive and down-to-earth, and I focus on emphasizing the positive towards reaching goals.

Experiencing feelings of anxiety, sadness, or other distressing symptoms can make it difficult to function optimally at school, work, or in relationships with others. My approach to therapeutic work is to create a warm and empathetic environment within a collaborative working relationship. Together, we will explore and address the challenges that serve as obstacles to a more satisfying life. In my work, I appreciate and understand the importance of tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs.
