I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York and Vermont, with more than eight years of experience. I work with women and adults in their 20s through 40s who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can offer space to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can be open and honest.
I support adults through life transitions including grief, loss, relationship challenges, panic, job loss, empty nest, medical trauma & other upsetting & traumatic events. I'm a talk therapist, EMDR therapy certified & advanced Flash Technique trained - tools that I incorporate to help my clients navigate emotions in the days and weeks following and ongoing.
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.
I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.
I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to supporting you through life’s toughest transitions. I am currently accepting new patients for virtual sessions. Since beginning my practice in 2022, I have worked extensively in community mental health, gaining experience with a diverse range of clients—from adolescents finding their footing to couples strengthening their bonds and elders navigating new life chapters. My background in various therapeutic modalities allows me to tailor my approach to your unique needs. I specialize in helping individuals navigate Addiction & Recovery, Trauma & PTSD, Depression and Adjustment Issues. Whether you are facing a major life change or working through long-standing challenges, I provide a safe, virtual space to help you heal and grow.
As a therapist, my goal is to help you live a happier and more fulfilling life. It can be difficult to know if you are on the right path, have healthy relationships, and are satisfied with your life's direction. How do you feel about where you are headed? I can support your self discovery in a compassionate and understanding way. I work towards identifying one's strengths and empowering clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship problems and life transitions. I specialize in working with young women, new moms and couples navigating the transitional stages of family life.
Therapy is a collaborative journey of self discovery and integration. Its aim is wholeness. I draw on a variety of therapeutic frameworks (EMDR, DBT, motivational interviewing, strengths based work) to meet individuals where they are at and help them identify strengths and areas of growth in their life.
Together we look at how thoughts, feelings and beliefs intersect with our life transitions and relational patterns and how they contribute to our sense of well being, or misalignment. By uncovering the needs under our feelings, we learn to take personal responsibility for expressing ourselves accurately and authentically, allowing us to feel heard, valued and understood.
My name is Benjamin. With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships and improve emotional well-being. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life challenges.
My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on meaningful, lasting growth. I help clients better understand their emotions, strengthen connections, and develop practical tools for everyday life.
Therapy with me is real, down-to-earth, and engaging—I bring honesty, humor, and compassion to create a space where you can grow, heal, and be yourself. Book with me here or at https://evolvetothrive9.com.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Vermont
Searching for therapists in Vermont starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across the state, therapist options can vary between more populated areas and rural communities, so it helps to focus your search early. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience with concerns like yours. Modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing may appear in therapist profiles, along with details about what sessions are like.
Location and format also matter when comparing Vermont therapists. If you live near Burlington, Montpelier, Rutland, or a smaller community, you may want an in-person therapist close to home or work. Virtual appointments can also expand your options across Vermont, especially when local availability is more limited. As you narrow your search, look at appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and fit for your preferences.
The cost of mental health care in Vermont varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to check coverage and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can compare Vermont therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
