Margaret Stixon, LSW
You’re feeling like you’re barely holding your life together, and you’re tired of pretending you’re okay. Maybe you’re a little quirky, a little artistic, but you’ve always felt like something was “off” and you never quite fit in. Yeah, all of that is exhausting. I want you to find real joy in your life, whatever that looks like for you. I love working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who might be a little neurospicy, and others who just want to explore their identity more. You won’t have to spend the first 3 sessions worrying if you’re going to be accepted, you already are.
My style is eclectic and I’m always willing to meet you where you’re at in your healing. I like to focus on gentle guiding and building tools. I enjoy following where you want to lead, side quests and all! Don’t worry, if I notice we’re avoiding something, I will circle back to it. I’m friendly, accepting, and a little silly (with a dark sense of humor). I love laughing at the absurdity of life!
I want to go into the hard, messy, and weird stuff with you. I want you to understand yourself and reframe your narrative. I know admitting you’re not okay feels scary, but I’d love to be with you, looking underneath everything that has been piled on top of you.
