Margaret Hughes, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Clients say I am open-minded and accepting. I tell clients "I'm here for the tears" - we all have stories to express and tears are often the conduit!

Something to know about my approach is:

I am an ACT therapist. This means that I help my clients get to know their pain, have respect for and welcome pain. This is the opposite of many types of therapy, it's refreshingly real & down to earth. We are all human (myself included) after-all.

Together, we will:

We'll sit together in acceptance, allowance and sometimes in humor. We will discover what matters most to you, find out where there's a gap and then find ways to move towards the person you want to be and the life you want to live. It. Is. Possible!

I specialize in working with people who:

I enjoy working with people who have never been to therapy and folks who have tried it all and are ready to try again.

I became a therapist because:

I have been in pain, I have seen pain (many types) and I have skills and insight about how to live differently with pain that comes with being human.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I have a therapy cat who often shows up for therapy sessions. His presence is optional though :)

More about me and my practice:

I love the deep conversations about our inner workings. I am honored to be "let-in" to the deep stuff.
