The Power of Being Heard
"Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable." - Mr. Rogers
A big barrier to treatment can be the fear of judgment. Please know, no matter what you're calling in with, I will listen. The world may provide opinions and judgment, but I'm here to work with you to build the life you want and to help you cope with your struggles with empathy. At Margo DeCuir Therapy, I'll work with you in a way that feels good and safe to you. Healing is a personal journey and only you get to decide what that looks like for you. Call or email for a free consult to discuss how I can best support you to reach your goals. I look forward to learning how I can help you get to where you want to go.

Attachment Issues
Attachment Issues
Attachment Issues
Most of us have had experiences where some of our formative relationships have caused us harm. Whether you are hyper-independent due to it being hard to vulnerable and trust others with your needs, struggling with dating and not knowing how to connect, or feeling stuck in relationships, I'm here to help you work with those parts of you that have kept you safe while exploring other ways to create the relationships you want.
Depression
Attachment Issues
Attachment Issues
Depression can make it difficult to enjoy life and engage in activities you once loved. It can feel like we are doomed to feel like this forever. I offer evidence-based treatment to help explore the roots of your depression, find supports and resources, and help resolve barriers to feeling motivated to meet your goals. With compassion, since so many of us receive shame around our stuckness, we can explore ways to help it feel safe to engage in life again.
Trauma
Attachment Issues
Anxiety
Whether it is Big T Trauma or little Trauma, I offer evidenced-based modalities to explore any negative core beliefs or difficult behaviors that are impacting your life or relationships. I don't ask what is wrong with you, but what have you been through that these behaviors, thoughts or feelings are how you learned to stay safe. And when and if you're ready, only then, we explore ways to let go of how trauma has held you back from living the life you want.
Anxiety
Resources for Military Families
Anxiety
If you're struggling with anxiety, we're here to help. I offer practical strategies to manage anxiety while also exploring the root possible causes with you. Often times, anxiety can be a placeholder for other deeper feelings we might not be ready to sit with yet. We work your body and your nervous system to help it learn what is a threat, what needs some caution, and when it can relax and let go of control.

Support for Neurodiverse Individuals
At Margo DeCuir Therapy, we understand the unique challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals. Often times it can be a struggle to navigate a neurotypical world. I seek to honor the glorious way your brain works while helping you find ways to traverse a world not made for us. Often, just being othered in a world can feel traumatic and overwhelming. We can work through those feelings to build self-compassion and add additional skills to help build the relationships and life you want.
Adoption and Foster Care Support

Navigating the complexities of adoption and foster care can be overwhelming. I offer counseling services designed to support individuals and families involved in these processes. We will address attachment trauma and emotional challenges, ensuring a smoother transition and fostering healthy relationships within your family. We explore how the seven core issues of adoption and permanency may impact you and your family and work towards increasing connection and safety.
Second Generation Immigrants
Support for Neurodiverse Individuals
Second Generation Immigrants
It can be a incredibly difficult to walk between multiple worlds as a second generation immigrant child. Often balancing the individualistic and Americanized values outside of the home juxtaposed with the collectivistic values inside of it. We work to explore your culture, your own personal values, and how to walk in these often polarizing worlds. I honor your cultural experiences and expertise and help you interweave what you need to feel the most you in between these worlds.
About Margo DeCuir Therapy
My Mission
Finding help can be an act of huge mental and emotional effort. The most important part of finding help is finding someone you feel like is safe and gets you. In treating diverse families, couples, and individuals, I seek to honor and integrate my clients' wisdom, identity, and personal experiences and connect it with current scientific research. It can be scary to think about talking about things you have been through, the things you have done, and the relationships you have had. I honor what you have been through and the choices you've had to make to get to this point. By co-creating a safe, empathetic environment to grow through what you've been through, we can find ways to construct the life you want for you.
