Margaret FitzGerald Counseling LLC

From decades of experience in both my personal and professional life, I can attest to the truth that every human being deserves to feel heard, listened to, and affirmed for whatever life challenge has them feeling alone. Proactive steps to reach health and wellness is your birthright. I am here to partner with you as clinician and compassionate human being, parent, family member, abuse survivor, and professional. 

Relationships, goals, all else will fall into place when people feel heard, experience internal shifts in beliefs about themselves, and learn coping skills that actually serve them to seek their birthrights of freedom and fulfillment in life. Supporting clients in their healing journeys to reach their goals, with evidence-based practice strategies and therapeutic interventions, compassion, and understanding, I will walk alongside you through challenges and to reach your goals.

Let me walk alongside with you on this courageous journey. Call me at 484-880-8909.
