Margot is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Houston with more than 15 years of experience empowering clients to build a life worth living. She delights in helping people connect with their truest selves through a blend of coping skills coaching, mindfulness training and parts work, with the ultimate goal of improving their relationships with themselves and others. Although she takes mental health very seriously, she believes we cannot survive in this world without humor and levity and that good therapy includes laughter.

Therapeutic specialties include, but are not limited to, PTSD and Complex trauma, Substance Use Disorders, Grief and loss, spiritual and existential exploration, and intimacy and sexuality.

Utilizing the framework of Psychedelic Harm Reduction, she offers psycho-education, preparation and integration support for both plant medicines and Ketamine-Assisted therapy, having graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies’ Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research program. She is interested in bringing together evidence-based therapy with psychedelic work and is formally trained in DBT, Radically Open DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, ACT, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma- Sensitive Yoga.

Margot earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Houston and her Bachelor’s in English from Occidental College in Los Angeles.
