Margaret Dunn

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Margaret utilizes her background as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Functional Medicine Health Coach and a Certified Life Coach to provide various evidence-based modalities to permanently remove mental roadblocks that are stopping you from achieving the success you KNOW you are capable of.
Do you find yourself saying yes when you are screaming NO inside?
Do you wonder what happened to that passionate person I’ve always dreamed of becoming?
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?
Do you ever wonder how come change is Soooo hard?
Do you say to yourself if my bad habit is so bad for me, why oh why, can’t I stop?

Our subconscious mind controls over 90% of our thoughts and actions. The subconscious mind stores unprocessed emotions that accumulate over time and can show up as physical symptoms and stress.

I can assist you to transform fear into courage, dis-ease into wellness, pain into power, and chaos into clarity by safely processing emotions that have been stuck in your subconscious mind.

Some areas I specialize in are: Emotional Eating, Chronic Illness, Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, and more.
I help you heal your hunger: Emotional eating is a mindset problem, not a diet nor exercise problem. It is a powerful and effective way to find temporary relief from many of life’s challenges. One of my specialties is assisting smart, busy professional women break cycles with emotional eating, overeating, and stress – not by hard work and willpower, but by identifying the root cause of your hunger,

I will assist you to heal your heart: Another area of specialty is assisting you eliminate self-doubt (imposter syndrome), self-sabotage and negative self-talk.

I will assist you to heal your habits: I teach you and guide you through the four step process of changing your habits so they work for you instead of against you.

I will always take a stand for you moving beyond what’s keeping you small or stuck – in your thinking, your behavior, your beliefs, or in the world. Growth is challenging, and change can feel awkward and painful, but numbness, avoidance, and defensiveness only keep us trapped – or worse.

My core values are compassion, open-mindedness, a passionate belief in growth and possibility, and deep respect for our humanity.

I look forward to talking with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life transitions, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most people.

A major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their life and comfort level, whether through video appointments, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to include therapy in a busy schedule.

Each therapist available is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical and accessible path to consistent support for many common mental health and life-challenge concerns.
