Maggie Alsalah

Hi, I’m Maggie. I’m a licensed social worker who is passionate about helping children, teens, young adults, and families feel supported during difficult, stressful, or overwhelming seasons of life. My background in school social work has shaped the way I support clients with compassion, patience, and a practical understanding of how emotional, behavioral, school-related, and family challenges can impact daily life. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to build healthier coping skills and confidence.

I take a compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to therapy. Together, we work to better understand what is going on, explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be contributing to stress, and develop realistic tools for coping and change. My style is supportive and down-to-earth, and I often use cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and skill-building strategies to help clients navigate anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship concerns, school challenges, and life transitions.

In our first session, we will focus on creating a comfortable space for you to share what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, your goals, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from counseling. You do not need to know exactly where to start; we will take things at a pace that feels manageable and begin building a plan that feels realistic, supportive, and tailored to you.
