Introduction: Are you struggling with an addiction and/or an eating disorder? Is your partner an addict? Or are you trying to get over a relationship? I specialize in addiction, codependency, and related anxiety and depression. I find it especially rewarding to work with couples in recovery and am a strong proponent of group therapy in the healing process. Therapy is an amazing healing journey and it is a privilege to help clients develop self esteem, consciousness, a sense of joy and purpose, and reciprocal relationships in which they have a voice and feel valued! My job is not just about a paycheck for me. I truly love it, care for every client I work with and see each as an individual with a unique journey. As a clinician I utilize an integrated approach, drawing on both psychodynamic behavioral/cognitive techniques. My hope for all of my clients is that they lead happier, more conscious lives with a sense of purpose; and that they have healthy, reciprocal relationships, where they have a voice and feel loved and valued. Creativity and the mind-body-spirit connection inform my practice and I am well versed in Twelve Step Recovery. I feel privileged and blessed to be in this profession and so fulfilled and when I see clients grow and change!

Amy Margolis has been my therapist for a few years now, and my life could not have changed more since I started seeing her. When I first started therapy, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. My lifestyle was reckless and dangerous, my relationships were falling apart, and I had found myself feeling like I could no longer go on. After I started going to Amy, everything changed. She led me through one of the darkest times of my life, and helped me to process everything I had been going through in a safe place. Amy has taught me how to allow myself to be vulnerable and experience what I'm feeling, instead of taking it out in self-destructive ways. She has showed me how to move forward and make sense of my past and current situations, as well as how to better deal with the future. Since seeing Amy, I have done a complete 180: I am now healthy and know how to take care of myself, I have extremely strong and positive relationships, and I am excited about life. I cannot thank Amy enough for continuing to always be such a strong support system, going above and beyond to help others, and making such a huge difference in people's lives!

Amy Margolis and I have known one another for 15 years, and she is one of the most empathic, lighthearted, intuitive, and transformative therapists, I have ever known. When I had some huge life changing decisions to make, and I didn't know which way to turn, she straightened me out. My life is beyond amazing due to her guidance. I cannot thank Amy enough for all she has done for me. If you want help with children, parenting, food, relationships, or career this woman will help transform your life. To top it off, she has a sense of humor that makes us giggle at life's challenges.

Amy is such a warm person. She always made me comfortable in my sessions with her. I always felt great after leaving a session with her. I love that she would follow-up and give me suggestions for our our next meetings. She truly helped me through difficult times in my life. She was always on time for our sessions and she is just all around fantastic.

Amy is a fantastic therapist. She is straight forward, thoughtful, and uses humor to ease situations. She is a great clinician and I trust her whole heartily. I've recommended Amy several times and everyone who has seen her has been super pleased. She's great!
