I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I am Margaret Swanson, a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LICSW) in both Vermont and New Hampshire. I specialize in trauma - informed care and work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and relationship challenges. My approach draws heavily on Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) - approaches I believe are especially powerful when trauma has made it harder to trust others and move forward. I know how it feels to be stuck. With the right support, meaningful growth is possible. I offer telehealth sessions.

Therapist

I believe every person deserves a space where they feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. My approach is grounded in the social work perspective of "person-in-environment," recognizing that our mental health is shaped not only by who we are, but also by our relationships, life experiences, identities, and the systems around us. While I bring specialized training and clinical experience, I also believe therapy is a collaborative process. We can work together to better understand your experiences and help you move toward living more authentically and in a way that aligns with your values. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel empowered to grow and make meaningful, lasting change.
