Margaret Owens LCSW

In sessions with me, you can expect a supportive listening ear, honest & unbiased perspective, and goal-oriented discussion. Your initial session would include a spoken intake assessment for me learn more about you and the presenting issues, while also helping us to build rapport, discuss goals, and create a treatment plan that works best for you. At the end of each session, I typically have my clients pick a main focus for the week(s) ahead, so it does not feel like everything needs to be tackled at once. I will also provide resources in between sessions when needed, to help further self-growth on your own time. I always strive to provide a calm, safe space for my clients to feel both supported and empowered when discussing their unique challenges.

My therapy style is genuine, integrative, and strengths-based. I do not tie myself to a singular therapeutic method, but rather work to blend elements from different approaches in order to tailor each client’s treatment based on specific needs. Using various talk therapy methods such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, and mindfulness techniques, I strive to help each individual feel comfortable and understood.
