Theresa Mago

I believe that reaching out for help is an act of strength and a meaningful step toward self-care—so if you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a courageous first step.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 11 years of clinical experience working in diverse settings including the Department of Corrections, residential treatment programs, intensive outpatient behavioral health, addiction and trauma recovery services, and as a Military Family Life Counselor supporting military families.

I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, complicated grief, and personality disorders. I also support clients in building healthier relationships by developing strong boundaries and effective communication skills. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on helping you reclaim clarity and control in your life.

Additionally, I provide evaluations for Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters when clinically appropriate. While letters are never guaranteed, I offer a free 15-minute introductory session, with full assessments and ESA letter evaluations.

I also facilitate DBT skills groups designed to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Our next group sessions are forming now — if you are interested, please join the waitlist to secure your spot.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent three decades as an entrepreneur in the arts and entertainment industry. With over 60 years of life experience, I bring a unique and deeply informed perspective to my work.

I live happily with my husband, who is also a psychotherapist, and I am a proud parent of two grown children.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that each person is a one-of-a-kind individual with a unique story—and your care should reflect that. You deserve a therapeutic approach that’s personalized to your needs, experiences, and goals.

When we work together, we form a collaborative partnership. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. Through open and honest communication, I’ll listen with compassion, offer thoughtful challenges when helpful, and provide you with practical tools, strategies, and insights to support real, lasting change.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These evidence-based approaches allow us to work together in ways that are both structured and flexible—addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, personality disorders, boundary setting, and communication skills.

If you're ready to begin your journey toward greater clarity, healing, and empowerment, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

In our first session, we’ll begin with an introduction and an opportunity for you to share your story and what you hope to achieve through therapy. If you're not quite sure yet—that's okay. We'll explore it together.

My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable, while also feeling safe, respected, and understood. From there, our work will focus on identifying meaningful goals and taking practical, collaborative steps toward making them a reality. Each session is designed to help you gain insight, develop effective tools, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
