Margaret Buchholz, LICSW, LCSW

Margaret is the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. Her ability to ask the right questions, give me honest feed back, compassion, encouragement, and challenge me, and give appropriate homework is a true testament to who she is as a person and how well she takes the time to “get” her clients. I’ve been working with her for quite a while now and hope to for a long time. The strides I’ve made in my personal and professional life are in huge part to our therapy sessions. She’s walked with me through some very dark times and celebrated with me at the best of times. I’m very grateful for her!

I've appreciated getting to know and trust Margaret over the course of the last 6 months. She is a patient listener, a good sounding board, and responds to questions and messages in a timely manner. She is above all very kind and willing to work with me to set goals, hold me accountable, and bolster my confidence in myself. As a person who struggles with depression and mood instability, the consistency of speaking with her and her words of affirmation as well as encouragement to see myself in a more positive light when my outlook is bleak has helped me come to a place of more peace. I'm grateful for her help.
