Maggie Wise
I am originally from Northern Virginia but have lived in the Tidewater area for 25 years. I completed my undergraduate degree at Old Dominion University with a BS in Psychology. I attended University of Southern California for a master’s degree in Social Work. I am dually licensed as a Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor.
I specialize in trauma, crisis management, domestic violence, anxiety, depression and substance abuse.
I have approximately twenty years of social work experience in various avenues. I specialize in trauma, crisis management, domestic violence, anxiety, depression and substance abuse. I know there is not one approach for everyone, so I will work with my patients to find a treatment modality that they are comfortable with. I fully believe that everyone can achieve the quality of life that they desire; it is my desire and passion to help them achieve that.
First session
We will get to know each other and I will conduct an initial assessment. Following that, we will identify both short and long-term goals and the actions we will take to ensure you can achieve them.
Strengths
I am able to connect with individuals and built a trusting relationship. I will listen to your needs without judgement and will always be respectful of your individual heal thing process. I know that you must trust your therapist in order to have difficult conversations. I believe it is my calling to help you reach your goals.
Ideal clients
As long as you have a desire to improve your quality of life I am willing to help you.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
I have extensive knowledge in helping individuals overcome past traumatic experience to increase their quality of life. I use various methods to achieve this and I am also EMDR certified. Together we can accomplish your goals.
Attachment-based
Attachment is a basic human need, it drives so much of who we are as individuals. Together, we can explore your attachment style and discover new ways to create healthy attachments and boundaries to those that matter to you most. There is a large portion of education that I provide during sessions that will aid you in internal reflection and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been practicing CBT for over ten years as it has been proven to be one of the most impactful forms of therapy. In sessions we will review cognitive distortions and you will be provided homework to complete prior to our next session.
Grief Therapy
I have been providing grief therapy for over ten years. Grief can be extremely complex and confusing. Together, we will ensure that you understand the stages of grief and finding health coping skills that will help you get to acceptance.
Motivational Interviewing
I have been performing Motivational interviewing for almost 20 years. It is by far one of the most impactful approaches to ensure that you are in full control of what you want to accomplish and leading the path of how to reach your goals. I will support you and help you find the answers you are seeking on your own.
