Maggie Ratley

Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (Temp)

Maggie Ratley | she / her / hers

Exploring your feelings and experiences can be difficult, but you do not have to do it alone. I believe that all people have the strength and knowledge within them to find the healing that they want and deserve. I am here to provide a safe place and to walk along beside you as you begin to discover what you need on this journey.  

I work with children (6 and up), adolescents, their families, as well as with adult individuals. I have experience working with clients experiencing suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, behavioral difficulties, attachment difficulties, grief, life transitions, and identity exploration. Another area I am passionate about is working with parents or guardians who feel overwhelmed and would like more support on their care taking journey. 

My therapeutic approach can be described as neurodivergent affirming, Internal Family Systems informed, and relational-cultural. I believe it is important to take into consideration the relationships, systems, and culture that are impacting a person’s life along with past experiences that may inform how a person is responding to their current life circumstances. I enjoy incorporating play, expressive arts, and mind-body techniques into my sessions to help with navigating difficult topics.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my dog, going on hikes, traveling, and going to see live music.
