LCSW, 27 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
My name is Teresa Maguire, and I have been a psychotherapist (LCSW-R) for 27 years. I am licensed in NY and MA. I work primarily with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, gender identity concerns, relationship problems, and LGBTQ issues. I work mainly from a psychodynamic and relational model, utilizing Attachment-based, Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, and Trauma Focused therapies. I believe those therapeutic relationships are the most important vehicle for facilitating positive change and growth.
During the first session, you should expect to be put at ease, to be able to express yourself to whatever extent you are comfortable. We will get to know each other better and see if we are a good fit for each other. I commend you for taking that first step towards healing, and I encourage you to reach out and get started with therapy today!
I have extensive experience working with folks who have been impacted by trauma, those struggling with gender identity, and people who identify as LGBTQ.
I work with individuals age 15 and older with a variety of issues and concerns. I especially enjoy working with young adults trying to establish relationships and careers, independent of their families of origin. I seek to help you understand how your past influences the present, and how to develop the skills you need to move forward as the best version of you.

I work to create a safe and caring environment where you can feel heard and validated. You will set the pace of the work, and I will meet you where you are. You should feel comfortable bringing your true self to sessions without fearing judgment. All your feelings are welcome and will be examined/explored together.
Starting therapy can be scary. I will work to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can feel free to express a all of your thoughts and feelings. Wherever you are in your journey is ok. We start where you’re at and you set the pace.

It was productive. I was able to confide in her. There is still a lot to cover, but I feel we are going in a good direction. Hopefully with the weekly appointments I will be getting better at my mental and emotional health. Very grateful for this program.

Excellent first session. I felt very comfortable talking with her. I've often had difficulty conveying my emotions with people, and she was able to talk to me in a way that helped me to that.
