MAGGIE PHILLIPS, LMFT PMH-C

I’m Maggie – an experienced therapist who works with children, teens, women, and parents. My work is grounded in a systemic, relationship-focused approach that looks beyond individual symptoms to explore patterns within the family, school, or relational dynamics. I’m passionate about helping clients of all ages find healing, clarity, and confidence.

How Can I Support You?

• Children: I provide developmentally appropriate therapy for children navigating anxiety, big emotions, self-esteem issues, oppositional behaviors/defiance, ADHD, and early childhood trauma. I specialize in supporting highly sensitive kids and use Synergetic Play Therapy, a research-based model that blends neuroscience with emotional attunement and co-regulation. This approach helps children process internal experiences in a safe, embodied way. I work closely with caregivers to ensure therapy is collaborative and empowering.

• Teens: Adolescence can be a confusing and overwhelming time. I help teens explore their identity, manage school and social pressures, and address issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-worth. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where teens feel seen, heard, and understood.

• Parents: Parenting brings deep joy—and real challenges. I offer parent support sessions both as stand-alone services and in combination with your child’s therapy to help you manage behavioral concerns, family stress, and shifting roles. I also support pregnant and postpartum women with therapy focused on perinatal mental health, identity transitions, emotional overwhelm, and the challenges that arise in early parenting.

• EMDR: I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy to help clients safely process trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress stored in the body. This evidence-based approach is effective for both children and adults working through painful or overwhelming experiences.

I believe that authentic connection is the foundation for change. Whether I’m working with a child, teen, or adult, I prioritize creating a space where clients feel safe to be fully themselves. I have extensive experience supporting clients with attachment issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I bring a relational, client-centered lens to every session.

I also hold the deep belief that parents and caregivers are the experts on their children. I view therapy as a collaborative process where true growth happens through trust, mutual respect, and emotional safety. My goal is always to support clients in understanding themselves more fully, developing meaningful coping strategies, and strengthening their relationships with others—and with themselves.

If you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Whether you're navigating parenting challenges, emotional struggles, or child behavior issues, together we can create meaningful change.
