About me

 Margaret Clark, who goes by “Maggie”, received her Bachelors Degree in Human Development, and Masters Degree in Counseling from Sonoma State University. After working in a community based agency, she began working as a psychotherapist in private practice as an Intern in 2016, and completed her licensure process with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences in 2017 earning her license as a Marriage & Family Therapist.  Maggie's theoretical orientation developed as a humanistic, client centered approach, with the belief that a persons early childhood experiences and attachments shape their understanding of the world.  Some of her early work was with children and adolescents with complex trauma.  She has a rich background working with young adults launching into adulthood, helping to build their identity and purpose in the world. In her current work, the focus has been working with individual adults struggling with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues and addiction.  She also finds passion in working with Couples around building communication skills, trust and intimacy.  In April 2018, Maggie received intensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. Prior to that, she received training on Somatics in Couples Therapy from Kitty Chelton, LMFT and Theresa Beldon, LMFT, in January 2016. She has also completed an intensive training on Collaborative Couples Therapy (CCT) from the developer Daniel Wile, Ph.D., which continues to inspire her current work with couples.  The CCT training took place in November 2016.
