"Said the river: imagine everything you can imagine, then keep on going." -Mary Oliver
Margaret Hoyne Brown, LMFT
Marriage Family Therapist 81810

Margaret guides her psychotherapy sessions with the clarity of one who understands the depths of life’s challenges through her own rich life experiences. She listens for the strengths and gifts of each person with a keen and compassionate ear. Her goal is to support others in trusting their instincts, receiving a true read on their emotions, setting healthy boundaries and taking a pro-active, rather than reactive approach to life. She also helps one to recognize and unwind from unhealthy patterns for coping with life's struggles. People who are overwhelmed and confused grow to use their own gifts and strengths in an authentic way to help them thrive in diverse aspects of their lives.
Margaret appreciates great joy in supporting others through transformations. She is continuously engaged in emerging trends in psychology, as well as the world at large, because she understands that everything happening socially touches each of us in different ways.
It is her intention to meet each person exactly where they are and help them get where they want to be for a well lived life.
