Maggie Rowe

Counseling is for everyone. It's really my honor to walk with people through difficult seasons in their lives, watching them come out with new perspectives and strengths. I am a steady person to hear your story with care, and help you figure out your next steps when you're unsure of the next right thing. I have vast experience with crisis, trauma, grief/loss, new serious diagnosis, school issues, and professional caregiver burnout. I enjoy working with folks of all ages, including young children and teens. My hope is to help you ease the emotional and mental suffering that goes along with life-rocking transitions, to find optimal functioning and wellness in the life you want. Each session may be different depending on what you bring to the office. Most clients pick up some skills in ACT, CBT, and DBT, while others are there specifically to process trauma or grief. For trauma, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as well as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). These are both eye-movement therapies designed to help you to process and release trauma. I use these modalities with both children and adults. With children, I am well-equipped to use play therapy strategies as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure therapies for severe cases of anxiety and OCD. If you have a child struggling with severe anxiety, I will also include parenting support to help you to navigate this difficult time. When serving children I also work with parents. My goal is to help you find the words to explain difficult situations in age-appropriate ways, and to stay connected to your child through challenging family experiences. I am a children's grief specialist, and enjoy working with the whole family on their grief journeys as individuals and as a family unit. I'm flexible and intuitive in session, and will pull from different modalities to support you. There are a lot of toys and crafts in my office for the littles who need diverse strategies. I bring a lot of warmth, compassion, and humor to the counseling environment. In our work together, I hope you will find new ways to find relief and access joy. If you think we'd be a good fit in our work together, I'd love to hear from you. For professionals, I also offer: -Clinical Supervision hours for Social Workers (associate-level) -Professional consultation -Professional Education Sessions on children's grief, as well as pediatric anxiety disorders and treatment options.
