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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have extensive experience working with folks who have been impacted by trauma, those struggling with gender identity, and people who identify as LGBTQ.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

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, Eclectic, Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, and Trauma Focused therapies. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important vehicle for facilitating positive change and growth.

Attachment-based

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.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

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.
