Getting to know Margarita Carson
Welcome to MySerenity Place!
I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is a brave step, and my goal is to make the process feel safe and comfortable. I’ve spent years helping individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships and stress.
I also know that life doesn’t pause for therapy—whether you’re balancing work stress, family responsibilities, or big changes, I’m here to offer a grounded space where you can slow down, reflect, and start to feel more at ease.
More than anything, I want this to be a place where you feel supported as you work toward healing, resilience, and growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When we begin working together, you can expect a space that is supportive, judgment-free, and centered on your goals. I take a collaborative approach, which means we’ll work as a team—your voice and experiences will always guide the process.
My style is gentle but practical. I listen closely, help you explore what feels overwhelming, and offer tools that fit your life so progress feels both meaningful and doable. I use a trauma-informed lens, drawing from approaches like cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, but always tailored to what resonates most with you.
I believe in moving at your pace. Some sessions may focus on coping skills and immediate relief, while others may dig deeper into patterns, relationships, or past experiences that shape the present. Above all, I want you to feel safe, respected, and encouraged as you take steps toward healing and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, I’ll take time to really get to know you—your story, your strengths, and the challenges bringing you here. Together, we’ll talk about your goals for therapy and what feels most important to focus on.
A typical session is a mix of open conversation and practical support. Sometimes that means exploring patterns or emotions at a deeper level, other times it’s about learning tools you can take with you into daily life. I check in regularly to make sure our work feels useful and at a pace that feels right for you.
Over time, we’ll continue to build on progress, adjusting as your needs evolve. My goal is that you leave each session feeling understood, supported, and with something you can carry into your week.

More information on payments and coverage
I am currently a private-pay, out-of-network provider. While I don't accept insurance directly, your insurance plan may have out-of-network benefits, which means that they will reimburse you for a portion of our session cost.
I have partnered with Thrizer to handle the out-of-network process automatically for you. With Thrizer, you will only have to pay a copay for our sessions post-deductible, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. This typically allows clients to save on average 70% upfront on our sessions. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your copay would be.
