Margaret Welling
Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Life can present us with a number of barriers, challenges, and obstacles. Whatever it is you are facing, I am here to listen, guide, and support. Therapy is a beautiful space where compassion, non-judgement, empathy, and sometimes a little bit of humor are blended together to meet people where they are, build on, and identify their strengths to support individualized goals.
I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults in their journey of survivor recovery, self-love, and healing process. I have experience working with individuals who have faced domestic violence, emotional abuse, suicidal ideations, self-harm, incarceration, and homelessness. Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are diagnoses of great interests of mine.
I received my graduate degree from Columbia University School of Social Work. Prior to Columbia, I studied at Saint Michael’s College and Cambridge University, King’s College for my undergraduate degree. Regardless, YOU are the expert in yourself, and I am just here to listen, support, and guide as needed. Individualized therapy is prioritized to support your specific goals with collaboration, communication, and compassion from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach.
Most importantly, I will treat you as a person, and understand that you are not your trauma or diagnosis. You embody great strengths and together we will explore and empower those strengths. As, Maya Angelou once wrote; “And still I rise.”
