“As a former therapist myself, it can be challenging to work with other therapists. After all, "we know it all already." I am well aware not to negate her thoughts (as therapists we should NEVER give advice, which she does not do) but to reflect on our conversations and how to best move forward. Our personalities work well together which is helpful in the process. I was glad to end up finding her (not an easy process with my health insurance apparently). I know I make her work for her money, lol!”

“From our very first session, Margot created a warm, safe, and completely non-judgmental environment that made it easy to open up. She is an incredible active listener who picks up on subtle patterns and explains complex emotional concepts in a clear, accessible way. What I appreciate most is her perfect balance of empathy and professional boundaries; they gently challenge me to grow. If you are looking for a highly skilled, ethical, and deeply compassionate professional, look no further.”

Getting to know Margot Keys
Hi there, I'm Margot!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Service from Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. I have practiced for over 20 years, working with adolescents, young adults, older adults, couples, and families. Many clients face life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and chronic medical problems.
**My approach**
I listen thoughtfully to understand my clients’ experiences thoroughly to address their needs accurately. I want clients to feel seen and heard. I use Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviorally Informed Therapy (DBT), and Family Systems Therapy, tailoring these approaches to each client.
**My focus**
I specialize in helping clients who feel depressed and anxious, want to stop intrusive thoughts, and overcome lack of motivation. I also work with clients managing chronic medical conditions, often navigating life transitions, relationship issues, and trauma. I appreciate working with these populations due to their commitment and the growth and courage they show.
**My communication style**
I create a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel safe to build rapport. I am not a silent therapist—I ask questions, share observations, and check in to ensure understanding. I use humor when appropriate—life is hard but can also be funny. My goal is to connect with clients as people with problems who can make positive changes.
**My journey to mental healthcare**
My reasons for becoming a therapist started early—in fact, one might say I was born into it. At age 8, my father died.

Dr. Trout is kind, professional and a phenomenal listener. I greatly appreciate her approach and her commitment to paying attention and cultivating a shared understanding of experiences while also challenging me to broaden my perspective and see my concerns from new angles. She helps guide me toward my own inner wisdom, to not only problem-solve in the moment, but provide the tools to continue to do so in the future.
