Getting to know Margaret Best-Collins

Hello, my name is Margaret Best-Collins. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping adults and families resolve relationship issues, mood and emotional disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I hold a Master?s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College and a Bachelor?s degree from Oakwood University. My approach I take a collaborative approach when working with my clients. Together, we will find a treatment plan that works best for you. I encourage and support you as you decide how to move forward on the journey to becoming your best self. I use humanistic, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and explore beliefs and emotions that affect various areas of life, including personal, occupational, and spiritual. My focus My approach works best for clients who want to break the cycle of feeling stuck and are ready to do the work. Self-examination is not easy, but I will be there to support you throughout the process. My communication style I strive to create a safe environment where you can openly discuss any issues affecting your ability to move effectively through life. I want you to feel heard and be open to exploring potential obstacles that may be impacting your journey. My journey to mental healthcare As a teenager, I knew I wanted to help people with their emotional and mental health. Growing up as a first-generation North American with immigrant parents helped me relate to various cultures and recognize discrepancies in how mental health is viewed. Today, I believe even more strongly that mental health is just as important as physical health. My core value is to help everyone feel heard and work toward being their best selves, inclusive of all ethnicities, races, religions, sexual identities, and more. My goals for you I listen carefully to the problems and issues you share, and together we develop goals that are achievable and satisfactory for you.
