Margaret Sue Perlstein, MFT

Hi there, I’m Margaret Sue Perlstein, I have been a licensed therapist in private practice since 1992. In this high-tech world, my heart and focus are on the face-to-face connections I create with clients. I specialize in working with teenagers struggling with stressors unique to their age group, adults trying to overcome debilitating anxiety or depression, couples striving to improve their communication and strengthen their marriage, and people grieving the loss of loved ones.

Working together with my clients, we search for the right path for each individual’s needs and ways to help them heal from their particular hurts. When it’s the right thing for them, they may bring in other important figures in their lives to enhance those relationships and develop a more robust support system outside the therapy room.

At all times, the goal is to guide clients toward a happier, more balanced way of living in the world and in their connections to others while also increasing resiliency to the bumps and bruises of life.
