New to Grow
Hi and I am Marian Maguire, a clinical social worker who graduated with a Master's degree from Boston University. I have over 20 years of clinical experience. My approach to working with my clients is an eclectic one. My focus is on combining solution based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, along with rational-emotive counseling. We will work together, as a team, to help you reach your goals. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and disability issues.
During our first session we will start to get to know one another. We of course will focus on why you are wanting to be in treatment. As well we will discuss your background information. There is also ample time for you to ask me any questions or discuss any concerns.
I believe a strong point is my focus on partnership and collaboration. I work as a team member with my clients, not as the "authority" to dictate goals.
I have no "dream" client. I work with anyone over the age of 18 through seniors with anxiety, depression, trauma, and career issues. Clients that are motivated for treatment and change. As well, clients that want to be an active partner in their treatment. It is also important to that want to and our able to work within the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
