Getting to know Margaret Plantes
The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC01069000.
Margaret Plantes treats patients starting at 7 years old.
My initial training began after college, when I was the admissions coordinator of a major university outpatient clinic studying depression in adults. I interviewed hundreds of distressed, often despairing, individuals and guided them into a variety of research treatment protocols. Graduate training in clinical psychology, at City University of NY, opened up a world of intellectual and clinical opportunities for me. I developed skills as a helper and healer under the guidance of seasoned professionals who inspired me. Internships in inpatient hospital care, child and family guidance, outpatient psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing led to employment in a variety of settings, including a drug and alcohol treatment facility and a national genetics study of the children of depressed parents. I worked with clients from early childhood ages through the final stages of adulthood, and have learned that every age has its unique challenges and rewards. While juggling family and career, I worked for a variety of non-profits and retired after many years as the executive director of a youth program. My post retirement career goal was to return to counseling. I earned my Masters degree in mental health counseling from The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and passed the National Certified Counselor (NCC) exam in 2018. My most recent jobs were as a pastoral counselor at Robert Wood Johnson-Barnabas Hospital in Hamilton, NJ and as a psychotherapist for college students at the TCNJ counseling center.

Some more about me: I consider psychotherapy to be both my craft and my calling. It is a privilege to walk along side others during challenging times. It is a joy to have seen psychotherapy be successful and at times even transformative.
