Dr. Marguerite Falcon
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland. I received my Masters from the University of Maryland and have been practicing for 25 years. I help young adults struggling with career stress and burnout become the best versions of themselves and older adults during life transitions or coping with chronic illness and grief.
I also can provide new ways of adapting to challenges at work, school, and home associated with being neurodivergent.

First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked with professionals of all ages across the lifespan for the past 25 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I start with the client assessing basic needs such as self-care, safety and belonging, wellness (nutrition, exercise, sleep, support systems) and how each layer builds a foundation for improved self-esteem and feeling good or taking the next life step with confidence. This is a very supportive process that is filled with a lot of positive feedback regarding resurfacing strengths that might be buried with trauma, chronic stress, of a life change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I view the therapeutic process between me and my client as a thinking team about how thoughts lead to behaviors that lead to emotions that lead to actions and figuring out where on the continuum a challenge is arising and strategies to reshape the feedback loop causing distress or external barriers impacting progress like a toxic relationship or job dissatisfaction.
