I am a licensed therapist in Kentucky with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of issues and have past experience with individuals in inpatient and outpatient settings. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
I primarily use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy to help clients process trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. I also incorporate other approaches, including cognitive-behavioral and person-centered techniques, to best support your individual needs.
My goal is to help you feel understood, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I offer online sessions with availability in the evenings Monday through Thursday, as well as limited daytime appointments on Fridays.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Margaret Elkins. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am very grateful for her help. She gives great feedback and has many different tools that help me.
