Therapists Beginning With M in Vermont

I am warm, relational and curious. I believe in the therapeutic process to heal emotional wounds. I have seen the power of it professionally and have used the therapeutic process personally to heal. I am truly honored every day that I get to do what I love and that people allow me the great privilege to witness their journey in healing, exploration and struggle. I support people exploring sexuality, gender, transitions, relationships (Poly, Kink and BDSM), past trauma, and the anxiety and depression that can accompany these explorations. I have training in the treatment of sexual dysfunction. I provide support to LBGTQIA+ community.

I view therapy as a process of deepening awareness of your experience and patterns in order to access greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I serve as a guide in examining your inner world with curiosity and compassion. This exploration—and the intimacy with yourself that emerges—brings with it the capacity to open more fully to life with its ever-changing realities.

Please see my website for the most up-to-date information. I utilize strengths-based therapies to work with my clients to create customized sessions that build coping skills and replace maladaptive behaviors. I am mindful of the “person-in-environment” perspective, which acknowledges that each client and situation is different and shaped by environmental context. I like to meet the client where they are mentally and emotionally and work from that spot, understanding that growth is not always a linear process.

I am a seasoned therapist with a diverse work experience. I have had the privilege of working in many different settings in the past 20 years. I am eclectic in style, tailoring approaches uniquely to you. My background is psychodynamic and I have worked in Boston and Burlington for many years in a private practice, in community mental health and outpatient settings. I am also highly trained and skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. I look forward to hearing your story and thoughtfully working with you through the issues that bring you to therapy.

Do you feel discouraged, anxious, or just unable to feel better? Do you ever get stuck in your thoughts or worry that you aren't good enough? Experiencing conflict in your relationship? Struggling with adoption issues? Have a family member with special needs? Life presents us with many challenges that can be overwhelming. My priority as a therapist is to provide you with a caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where your strengths, unrecognized needs, and goals can be realized. I work with clients on creating meaningful connections, improving self-esteem and confidence, self-care, and achieving overall well-being.

As a licensed professional counselor, I provide an empathetic approach to counseling. My goal is to create a trusting environment to build a positive therapeutic relationship. By doing this, my client is able to discuss those issues they may have never disclosed before.

I strongly believe in the value of therapy and I feel privileged to be a part of the healing community. I strive to empower you to make healthy changes that will positively impact your life. I work with sensitivity and warmth to create an accepting environment where you can feel safe and free to explore your thoughts and feelings despite how difficult or painful they might be. At times, your life may seem out of balance, whether the issues pertain to home, work, or relationships. My goal is to help you find the peace and joy in life that you deserve. I specialize in the healing of trauma.

You might be struggling with difficult emotions, stressed by the demands of life, or stuck in painful cycles in your relationships. You sense you could be more connected to yourself, to others, and to the deeper purpose of your life. Maybe you've tried to make things better on your own, but you sense that with the right kind of support you could thrive in new ways in your relationships, and in other areas of your life. You're on the edge of growing into something new.

Living with addiction and cooccurring disorders can be very disruptive. Addiction can lead to making poor choices resulting in relationship difficulties, legal issues and health concerns. Most people simply want the chaos to stop and to find stability in their lives. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance and work with each individual to develop an unique approach to develop the stability that has been illusive. I have a person centered approach and will employ a combination of methods that best match your needs.

I have experience working with adults, adolescents, and children in a variety of settings. My work is grounded in the belief that gaining insight is the path to lasting change. Psychodynamic work takes place collaboratively between the therapist and the patient. This relationship becomes the catalyst for emotional growth. My office is a safe space where any topic or idea can be shared without judgement. We will work on understanding the core underlying issues to elicit lasting change. This type of therapy is suited to a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, autism, mood disorders, and many others.

I offer only virtual and confidential counseling services for individuals and couples. I will assist you with strategies that help you to; improve communication skills, strengthen interpersonal relationships, lift depression, relieve anxiety, reduce an overload of accumulating stress, and eliminate self-sabotaging habits. I pull from over 25 years of lived and practical experience as a Mental Health Counselor, spiritual advisor, certified hypnotherapist and life coach.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or loved one can be a difficult task. A true "Master" of the healing arts is one who has spent years learning, practicing, and refining their skills as a healer. Individuals, couples and families first entering into the therapeutic relationship often feel overwhelmed, confused, anxious and vulnerable. They need to feel safe by knowing that they are truly being heard and respected. They also need to trust that their therapist has sufficient experience to patiently guide them thru the process of self discovery on their path to wellness and feeling whole, perhaps for the first time in their life.

Therapeutic Cathartic Breathwork assists in the healing of the self (body/mind/ heart and awareness), while releasing repetition compulsions from the past in order to live a life based on inner authority and sovereignty. Often clients are attracted to the cathartic breath as other modalities have not resulted in completion. The Therapeutic Cathartic Breath is not a mental tool, though it releases non supportive belief systems. It is an invitation to open to expanded states of consciousness, connecting us to our larger self before there was any trauma or dis-ease. We surrender to our "true source" however we define it.

There are many reasons why someone might want to seek out counseling; maybe it's the desire to feel less depressed or anxious, to be more connected or understood, or to learn better communication skills in your relationships. More often than not, the reason a person reaches out to a therapist is because something is out of balance or 'off'. I believe that people have an inherent desire to feel good and that we do the best we can until we learn better ways.

Hi there, I'm Maggie and I am glad you're here. As a therapist, I value the whole person and work to honor your personal story, the identities you hold, and your unique experiences. My practice is an interactive collaboration that welcomes you to explore and deepen your sense of awareness and connection to your mind, body and emotions.

Let's get Curious! Approaching life with curiosity, as opposed to judgement, opens us to opportunities we may not have thought possible. As your therapist, I will support you in reconnecting with your inner curiosity, creativity and courage, guiding you to explore your world with increased self-compassion. More self-compassion results in a life with reduced anxiety/depression, more moments of joy and a greater sense of well-being.

A compassionate and nonjudgmental space where you can reflect, discuss and learn about your reactions, choices, unconscious beliefs, and challenges can lead to increased well-being. I bring an attitude of kind presence, safety, and respect to the journey of discovery, supporting you to transform disharmony and stagnation into clarity. You’ll gain skills, support, and strength to recognize triggers to anxiety, worry, stress, sadness, relationship and work issues, or other life challenges. You’ll also gain insight into your strengths and gifts, clarify priorities, and open paths that allow for wise action.
