Margaret Dunn

Margaret Dunn blends her training as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri, a Functional Medicine Health Coach, and a Certified Life Coach to deliver evidence-based approaches that help remove the mental roadblocks that keep people from achieving the success they know they are capable of.

With 15 years of clinical experience, she works with stress, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, self-esteem challenges, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, sleep disorders, parenting and career difficulties, anger management, and coping with life changes. Her practice focuses on helping clients safely process emotions that live in the subconscious mind and influence behavior.

Margaret emphasizes that the subconscious stores unprocessed emotions that build up over time and can show up as physical symptoms and stress. She guides clients through techniques designed to transform fear into courage, dis-ease into greater wellness, pain into strength, and chaos into clarity by addressing those stuck emotional patterns.

She specializes in emotional eating and helps clients understand it as a mindset issue rather than a problem solved only by diet or exercise. Margaret assists busy professional women who want to break cycles of emotional eating, overeating, and stress by identifying the root causes of their hunger instead of relying on willpower alone.

Margaret also supports work on self-doubt, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and negative self-talk, and teaches a four-step process for changing habits so they work for the client rather than against them. She consistently advocates for growth beyond limiting beliefs, defensive patterns, and avoidance.

Her core values are compassion, open-mindedness, a deep belief in growth and possibility, and respect for human dignity. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri (license MO LPC 2008009343) and brings a collaborative, growth-oriented approach to therapy. She looks forward to talking with you.
