Hi there! I’m Maggie, and I am a licensed social worker (LSW), currently working towards my clinical license (LCSW). I graduated with my master’s degree in social work from West Chester University in 2023 and am so thrilled to be starting my journey in the mental health field with Restore Counseling.
I started my career as an intake caseworker with Children and Youth Services and have worked in school and outpatient settings. Through these opportunities, I have discovered my passion for working with children and adolescents and guiding them as they discover their feelings, thoughts, and environments. I utilize the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) model, motivational interviewing, a person-centered approach, and active listening. I am passionate about trauma-informed care and am planning to become certified in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I know that therapy can be an overwhelming adventure, and I strive to make the environment comfortable and welcoming for all. I take a positive, empathetic approach, and let every client know that they are valued, heard, and accepted.
I am a certified dog lover, a great friend, and an athlete! I enjoy being active and practicing self-care with running and doing CrossFit. I strive to practice mindfulness, positivity, and happiness in this busy life, and my goal is to always remind those around me that they are loved. I can’t wait to continue growing with Restore, and I am excited for our journey together!
