Helping People Open the Window of
Possibility in Their Lives
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a set of techniques intended to improve psychological and behavioral
problems in humans. Margaret utilizes an eclectic approach to this talk therapy in order to
individualize interventions. Because sensitive topics are often discussed during
psychotherapy, therapists are expected, and legally bound, to respect patient privacy and
client confidentiality and follow all federal, state and HIPAA guidelines.

Family Therapy
This therapy is one in which the family is the unit of treatment or intervention. During the
course of therapy, many or all members may be seen. Sessions may involve one or two
members or the whole family. Sessions may focus on individual members or relationship
pairs within the family; however, the focus is a change in interaction patterns at the family
level.

Couples Counseling
Couples counseling involves helping people overcome the differences that naturally occur
when two people live under the same roof.   Couples counseling usually involves a joint
session, followed by an individual session with each member of the couple and then
followed with joint therapy.  Typically, couples are given assessments to complete and
homework assignments between sessions.

Group Therapy
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves sessions guided by a therapist and
attended by several clients who confront their personal problems together. The interaction
among clients is considered to be an integral part of the therapeutic process.

Life Coaching
Life Coaching is not psychotherapy.  Life coaching is used  to aid clients with transitions in
their personal life, and in the process of self-actualization. Life coaching draws from a
number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, career counseling, and numerous
other types of counseling. The coach, or counselor, applies mentoring, values
assessment, behavior modification, behavior modeling, goal-setting, and other techniques
in assisting clients.  Life coaching can be done face to face or by telephone.  


Clients are seen by appointment.  Evening appointment hours are available.
