About me

Welcome to my practice. I'm Margaret Hoyne Brown, LMFT, a seasoned clinician for over a decade and a half, dedicated to providing a compassionate and supportive space for your personal growth and healing journey. With a blend of authentic empathy, good humor, and imaginative yet pragmatic approaches, I tailor therapy sessions to suit your unique needs.

My approach to therapy

I specialize in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Oriented Therapy, which have been proven to deliver optimal clinical results and foster rapid improvement. By integrating a humanistic approach and Adlerian style, I create sessions intending to make you feel supported and empowered to address your concerns. Drawing from my rich life experiences, I work to understand the complexities of life's journey and bring a deep commitment to social awareness and justice to our work together. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, or other challenges, I'm here to guide you toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment. As a lifelong learner and advocate for staying current with the latest therapeutic techniques, I prioritize attending workshops and collaborating with colleagues to ensure I'm equipped with the most effective approaches to therapy. Additionally, staying abreast of the social climate enables me to understand the world you inhabit. Together, we'll navigate your challenges with empathy, insight, and the most relevant tools available.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm and welcoming session, where we'll begin by getting to know each other. This initial meeting is a chance for you to share where you find yourself in life and what has led you to seek therapy at this time. Together, we'll explore your goals and concerns, as well as any questions or apprehensions you may have about the therapeutic process. We'll discuss how we can work together effectively, ensuring that you receive the support and guidance you need on your terms. I aim to provide you with a safe space to express yourself, gain valuable insights, and lay the groundwork for meaningful and lasting change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a psychotherapist, my greatest strengths lie in my rich life experiences, both personally and professionally. I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic process, having witnessed its profound impact firsthand. My unwavering belief in what I do fuels my dedication to each client's journey, guiding them through even the most challenging circumstances with empathy and understanding. Together, we'll navigate obstacles and forge a path toward healing and growth, empowering you to move forward with confidence and resilience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve clients who are navigating a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, parenting, and co-parenting stress, as well as feelings of burnout, disappointment, and overwhelm. If you find yourself struggling with any of these issues and seeking support and guidance to navigate through them, I am here to help. My expertise and compassionate approach are tailored to assist individuals facing these common yet complex life experiences.
