Margaret Stixon - LGBTQIA+, Gender Affirming, C-PTSD, Anxiety, ADHD

I’m friendly, accepting, and a little silly (with a dark sense of humor). I love laughing at the absurdity of life!

I want to go into the hard, messy, and weird stuff with you. I want you to understand yourself and reframe your narrative. I know admitting you’re not okay feels scary, but I’d love to be with you, looking underneath everything that has been piled on top of you.

When I’m not being a therapist, you’ll find me outside with my spouse exploring trails, kayaking, or at home being bossed around by my pets. My 3 cats and a pitbull have extremely strong opinions about my schedule. I have a background in theater and music, and love to bring that creative side in with me during our sessions!

Who Am I?

You’re feeling like you’re barely holding your life together, and you’re tired of pretending you’re okay. Maybe you’re a little quirky, a little artistic, but you’ve always felt like something was “off” and you never quite fit in. Yeah, all of that is exhausting. I want you to find real joy in your life, whatever that looks like for you.

I love working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who might be a little neurospicy, and others who just want to explore their identity more. You won’t have to spend the first 3 sessions worrying if you’re going to be accepted, you already are.

I’m exceptionally passionate about providing therapy to older adolescents and young college-aged adults!

My style is eclectic and I’m always willing to meet you where you’re at in your healing. I like to focus on gentle guiding and building tools. I enjoy following where you want to lead, side quests and all! Don’t worry, if I notice we’re avoiding something, I will circle back to it.
