Margaret “Maggie” Nash relocated to Fort Myers, Florida after a long tenure serving clients in Washington DC – a move she describes wryly as leaving only Congress uncured. With 24 years in private practice, she continues to find deep fulfillment in clinical work, and she also writes and offers television interviews when requested.

Humor is central to both her life and her therapeutic approach. She sees levity as an important tool in grieving, healing, recovery and problem solving, and intentionally weaves it into treatment alongside proven clinical methods. People come to her with a wide range of concerns, many of which center on troubled relationships or a difficult relationship with oneself.

Margaret emphasizes that self-criticism, unforgiving attitudes toward oneself, and the belief that pain is permanent or that one does not deserve to feel better are common but treatable barriers to starting work. Whether the issue is accepting oneself, partner or marital difficulties, parental discord, anxiety about life and work, or other challenges, she aims to help clients achieve meaningful, lasting improvements. She approaches this work with compassion and persistence and advocates for better mental health care. Margaret is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and authorization to practice (FL LCSW SW10482).
