Margaret Van AckerenMarriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

About

Life can feel overwhelming, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. When life gets complicated, it helps to have someone who listens, guides, and speaks honestly. I work with adults who want therapy that’s practical, compassionate, and sometimes refreshingly direct. My areas of specialty include autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and families. My work blends EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients process experiences, build coping skills, and create meaningful connections in their lives. Therapy is a collaborative effort in which I work closely with my client(s) to develop treatment goals. Treatment typically consists of gathering a history, learning the root of the problem, and developing an individualized plan that meets the needs of my clients. I also offer EMDR and Matchmaking for neurodivergent adults through Companion Clique.
