Hello, I'm Magda McGuire, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Elevated Horizons Counseling, LLC. Seeking therapy is a courageous first step, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. With nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, adjustment issues, serious mental illness, addictions, low self-esteem, life transitions, and crisis situations. My professional background includes working in hospitals, where I supported patients and families navigating serious illness, end-of-life concerns, and emotional crises. I have also worked in correctional settings, helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, trauma, substance use, suicidal thoughts, adjustment difficulties, and severe mental health conditions. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients with empathy, respect, and without judgment—regardless of their circumstances. I use an integrative, client-centered approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strength-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, and evidence-based practices tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward lasting emotional well-being. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups from diverse cultural, economic, and ethnic backgrounds. My career has taken me across the U.S. and abroad—including New York City, California, and Dublin, Ireland—giving me a broad perspective on the many ways people navigate life’s challenges. Currently, I provide tele-therapy sessions through a HIPAA-compliant platform. Many of my clients have found this format especially helpful in balancing therapy with their busy or unpredictable schedules. My areas of expertise include working with issues related to gender identity, sexuality, and non-traditional relationships (including polyamory and open relationships). I also bring both clinical expertise and personal insight into the challenges that arise in connection with personality disorders such as Narcissistic, Borderline, Avoidant, and Antisocial Personality Disorders. In particular, I help clients process and heal from the emotional trauma that often accompanies relationships impacted by these dynamics. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in respect for each person’s unique experience. Whether you are seeking support around identity, relationships, or recovery from difficult past experiences, I provide a safe and affirming space where growth and healing are possible. Outside of my work as a therapist, I find joy in activities that keep me grounded and creative. I love traveling and exploring new places, tending to my garden, playing the piano, working out, and cooking. I also have a passion for interior design and creating welcoming spaces. Most importantly, I value quality time with my family, friends, and my dog, Batman, who always manages to bring a smile to my day.

I obtained a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years, and I spent the last six years working as a professional counselor with children, adolescents, young adults, middle aged adults, older adults, couples and families on a variety of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, social anxiety, eating disorders, career counseling, parenting, relationship issues/poor communication, etc.

As someone who struggled with mental health in the past and sought out help, I have complete understanding and respect for anyone reaching out for assistance. The desire to help others after I was able to overcome struggles is what led me to counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been counseling for ten years now. I have worked with all ages, from children younger than five, to older children, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues, family conflict and challenges, relationship issues, and all the different life changes that occur! My practice is a client-focused, person-centered, and humanistic approach. I believe that each person who enters counseling deserves to be understood with empathy, respect, and compassion, and I believe that your relationship and connection with your counselor is key to moving forward. It is our journey together to bring you to the place that you want to be. I use a person-centered talk therapy model with a variety of techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, strength-based approaches, and mindfulness approaches. I have unique experience specializing in using art therapy and other creative avenues and techniques. I also have a specialty in play therapy specifically to work with younger ages, as well as expertise in behavior management, parenting support, and family therapy.

I work extensively with people to assist them with improving relationships, work to improve management of anxiety, anger management while improving self-confidence, and self-esteem. I also work with depressive-based symptoms and teach coping and improved thought processes to create a lifelong change to your ability to meet your needs. Together, we will identify what's not working and get you back to a baseline that works for you. I work holistically, my therapy provides tools to support needs within yourself, your relationships, and your family dynamic. If you're dealing with overwhelming emotions and feelings, hurtful relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I also have many years experience working with people with Autism as well as all Applied Behavioral modalities. When a person is seeking therapy, this is a huge leap of faith towards asking for help that I deeply respect and admire. I will provide a non-judgmental, compassionate space for you to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I will always meet you “where you are” and provide strength-based solutions through evidence-based techniques so you can overcome and move forward in your life. Let's get started!
