Psychotherapist
1248 Gunn Hall Dr, Ste 102, Virginia Beach, VA
"Hello, I'm Dr. Margretta Austin, LCSW, DSW. I'm passionate about helping individuals, families, and couples navigate life's challenges through a compassionate and evidence-based approach. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone has the potential for growth and healing, and my role is to guide you on that journey with empathy and understanding. I provide a range of therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Family Therapy, and Couples Therapy, both in-person and virtually, to accommodate your needs and preferences. My background is deeply rooted in advocating for adolescents and those who have experienced the foster care system. I have extensive experience working in the child welfare foster care unit, specifically in the independent living program for youth aged 14 and older. This experience has shaped my commitment to supporting individuals through significant life transitions and challenges. I am a proud lifetime alumna of Pennsylvania State University, where I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a focus on adolescent behaviors and development. I furthered my education with a Master's in Clinical Social Work from Norfolk State University and completed my Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University. My credentials as a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) reflect my dedication to providing high-quality care. I specialize in treating anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, gender identity issues, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, stress, and trauma. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, ensuring a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to explore and address your concerns. When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative and personalized experience. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.
