Margaret Sheils

I believe we all hold the keys to our own success, but sometimes, we just need a little help figuring out where the hell we put them.

Therapy should help you better understand yourself, navigate all you’ve been through, and create meaningful, sustainable change for the future. For us, that may look like finally looking at the ugly things we’ve neatly put away, working to interrupt patterns that no longer serve us, and consistently pushing ourselves to grow (with lots of laughter along the way).  Using compassion, directness, and humor, I strive to create a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where you can show up as your whole self, and I do the same. 

My work is grounded in person-centered, relational, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed approaches, in other words, I believe that your lived experience matters. As a chronically ill, neurodiverse, queer person myself, I understand and appreciate the value of being seen for all the different things that make you, you.

I’m especially passionate about working with those processing complex and relational trauma, living with chronic illness, exploring their identity, navigating complicated family dynamics, or reflecting on the role substances play in their lives.

If any of this sounds like you, reach out and let’s chat!
