MAGGIE MCCARTHY, LICENSED MASTER SOCIAL WORKER

You know something’s missing, but you’re not sure what. Maybe you’re feeling empty after a breakup, you and your partner are stuck in endless conflict, or you feel like you just don’t fit with anyone and don’t know why. Relationships and dating can be messy and stressful, especially in a world where finding support isn’t always easy, and expressing who you are or who you love doesn’t always feel safe.

I’m here to help. I work with women and LGBTQIA+ adults and couples who are feeling lost, lonely, or unsure of their next step. Together, we’ll tackle what’s holding you back, uncover what you truly want and need, and help you build a life that feels genuine and empowering—both within yourself first and foremost, as well as with others.

My approach is collaborative, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based, tailored to your unique experiences, identity, and goals. I draw from various therapeutic perspectives to help you break free from harmful narratives, gain clarity, heal emotional wounds, and improve communication. I also make space for humor and levity, because I believe laughter is essential for healing.

Struggling with relationships and self-acceptance can feel daunting, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My goal is to help you feel safe, confident, and at home in your relationships, your body, and your mind. Let’s work together to help you build a more fulfilling, vibrant life!

Maggie’s APPROACH:

I utilize elements of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic therapy, and narrative therapy to help you understand and reimagine past experiences, challenge negative thinking, and promote holistic healing within your mind and body. Some of the specific topics we might cover are:

  • Understanding and redefining harm from your past

  • Developing coping skills to help challenge and ground you in difficult moments

  • Quieting a restless mind

  • Strengthening your mind and body connection through mindful exercise

  • Accepting yourself as you are, for who you are, and where you are

Counseling should be a meaningful and transformative experience. I look forward to helping you transform your life for the better soon.
