About

Greetings. I’m Margarita. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. It is a pleasure to meet you and I am excited to know that we can work together to help you live a life you are longing for. My approach There are many ways to change your life and therapy is one of them. In my practice, I use an integrative approach to treatment, blending humanistic and positive psychology with the latest research in neuroscience, cognition, language, and relational psychology. I often incorporate mindfulness, somatic therapies, explorations of metaphors, dreamwork, and transpersonal dimensions into my work. My focus I have been working in healthcare for over 28 years as a nurse, an executive manager, an educator, and a therapist. I work with adults and elderly. My specialty is depression/anxiety, chronic pain management, trauma and PTSD, existential issues, and adjustment to life changes. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), guided imagery, cognitive hypnotherapy, somatic therapies, dream work, and mindfulness meditation. My communication style Therapy is a process of collaboration between client and psychotherapist. My clients frequently tell me that I have a warm, nurturing presence that allows them to feel comfortable, accepted and heard. During session, I stay attuned to your emotional needs and concerns, helping you to navigate challenging situations and feel more calm and grounded. My journey to therapy I have been captivated by the power of mind, wisdom of the body, and the human’s potential to change since I was very young. I became a therapist through my own long journey of struggle and healing. To me, therapy means to take care of, to remediate, to heal encountered problems and limitations. Although we all deal with challenges in our unique way, defined by our peculiar nature, I believe that a healing journey to wholeness begins with a desire to understand yourself, your aspirations, your perceptions, and actions.
