Margaret Novak, LLMSW

Dedicated to the healing journey of child and adolescent trauma survivors, I specialize in guiding you and your loved ones through the sometimes very difficult terrain. If you're seeking to understand and process your experiences, learning coping and relaxation skills to alleviate problematic symptoms stemming from trauma or significant life changes, you're in the right place. My mission is to offer a safe and comfortable environment where you can explore your feelings and responses without judgment.

As an experienced counselor specializing in trauma, my focus is on empowering you through education about trauma and its impacts. Together, we'll build a toolbox of coping skills tailored to meet your unique needs. I understand that starting this therapeutic journey can be daunting, especially when faced with the prospect of sharing deeply personal and distressing experiences. My commitment is to meet you where you are, creating a comfortable and trusting space where your concerns can be openly addressed.

My ultimate goal is to help you make sense of your experiences, leaving you feeling more confident and in control of your life. With evidence-based interventions and a wealth of experience working with trauma survivors, I am here to guide you through the process of powerful healing. Don't hesitate to reach out and take the first step toward unlocking your potential for growth and resilience.
