About me
Hi. I’m Margaret Doman. I am licensed Clinical Social Worker
Children and adolescents are not adults. They lack the autonomy and power over their lives that adults have. They have to endure or manage life on terms set by others, while at the same time manage the challenge of growth and development in every area and facet of their lives: self, strengths, deficits, home, family. school, peers, teacher, curriculum, community and more.
Adolescents appear to live and feel more intensely, but their brains, bodies, and experiences are still developing. There are many factors predictable, unpredictable, inherent, or otherwise that confound their ability to function and cope as they should in order to be safe, healthy and happy or adjusted.
Life can overwhelm them, challenge their coping capacities, shake their sense of security and status as a person, in life, among peers, assault their self esteem. Negative messages and experiences can set them on an ever increasing downward spiral of unhappiness, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, problems with life and relationships, and a sense of futility and hopelessness.
Timely intervention is necessary to for present wellbeing, and to avert future problems. It is important for adolescents to develop a good sense of self, develop functional social and coping skills, and develop confidence to successfully negotiate and navigate the world ahead.
My professional training was with an emphasis in Clinical Social with Individuals and Families with the utilization of Psychodynamic processing and Therapeutic Counselling models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotional Behavior therapy, Dialectical behavior Therapy, and Brief Therapy among others.
I have worked directly with children through adolescents in Inpatient, outpatient and community settings providing Individual and Group Therapy. I have worked with clients with a variety of presenting issues and dilemmas, including depression, anger management, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, marital, family and parenting difficulties, relationship issues, adjustment and attachment disorders, trauma and emotional abuse and mental health disorders.
I have worked indirectly as a Clinical Supervisor over Children's Mental Health programs which provided Therapeutic and Case Management services to children who suffered displacement, separation, trauma neglect and abuse and accompanying behavioral and mental health issues.
I have worked as a program supervisor over an Adolescent Program providing Shelter, Behavior Modification, Individual and Family Counselling for troubled teens.
From my personal experience I bring decades of experience, including living and working within a variety of cultures, religious and ethnic communities, making me aware and sensitive to the nuances of individuals’ diversity and challenges.
As a therapist, and as an adult member of this world community, I want to embrace any opportunity to help adolescents find their fit, develop and master the skills to grow and thrive in their current environment and circumstances , as well as in their future adult life.
I am here to help.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Margaret Doman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Very Professional and I've seen tremendous progress!
Absolutely love Margaret!
If you’re like me and have been interviewing therapist, rest assured your search ENDS with Margaret! She is very knowledgeable, provides resources, and responds quickly. Margaret has lead me to very important self revelations. Do it for yourself- book the session.
I have had an excellent experience exploring theraphy with Margaret. She is not only a empathetic listener but a great source of sound knowledge supported by research. Over this past year I have expand my insight on my self concept and reoccuring patterns that were holding my progress forwards. Thanks Magaret for all that you do!
She is so easy to talk to and non judgmental....full of help and questions that help you figure it out for the better.
I really appreciate my therapist. She is a good listener and provides great options
Margaret is great. She listens, she cares, she offers strong feedback.
Margaret listens and gives great insight which I really appreciate
Thank you!! You are so awesome! Loved our sessions, every journey starts with a single step
Very knowledgeable and empathetic!
Helpful an straightforward. Great listener an great talker. I'd recommend
Margaret is a sincere, caring and non-judgemental therapist and we feel in very good hands with her. She uses a range of approaches to help us deal with our problems and we have made great progress as a result of both her personal and professional ways.
Margaret is helpful, neutral and fair, and knows how to help us to understand each other without apportioning any blame on either party. She places a lot of emphasis on giving couples the tools to tackle their issues together, so that they can carry through their new skills and knowledge in the long run without being stuck in therapy forever.
Great therapist
I didn’t mean to say disagree
Margaret makes me feel recognised, she is understanding and helps me sift through my anxious thoughts, she makes me feel heard and less stressed knowing there's someone i can talk about things with and not feel judged
Margaret is a wonderful, warm person to speak with. She has helped my husband and I tremendously in learning to communicate effectively and respectfully. I cannot recommend her enough.
Margaret is the best. She listens and asks the right questions to help see things in a new and different way. She also helps to come up with an action plan. I’m grateful and thankful for the assistance to help me through my grieving and providing me with tools to move forward.
Thank you Margaret for all your patience care and expertise.
Margaret helped me through some of my lowest points and I couldn't thank her enough. She pushed me, questioned my poor choices and inner thoughts, really listened and took good notes on the things I'd say, and I could tell she genuinely cares about seeing her patients smile and seeing them happy. I feel like I'm in a completely different headspace from the time I started with Margaret to the time I finished. I'd recommend her to anyone who simply needs someone to talk to
Very understanding and patient
Margaret is a wonderful listener and loves to ask me all the question I've ever wanted to been asked. She really explores who I am and meets me where I'm at. I've never felt so heard and understood. Her methods are not confined to any one way of therapy and for that, I am making endless strides towards my best self.
I am seeing my granddaughter do better with every session,
She has done an amazing job guiding me and us as a couple. Thank you!
Margaret is one of the best therapist out there she is there to listen be there in many ways just hands down an amazing Human ❤️
Very caring and gentle therapist that helped me enormously in my daily struggles. She gave me lots of valuable insights into tackling my problems. Thanks a lot. I highly recommend Margaret.
I am so happy to have been matched with Margaret Doman. She is understanding, caring, and supportive. She has given me great, straightforward insight into how past emotional trauma has impacted me. In the short couple of months we've been working together, she's helped me overcome a lot of struggles I've been dealing with for most of my life. I'm so grateful for her and highly recommend her!
Highly recommended
Extremely warm, open, and engaged in every aspect. Highly recommend!
I appreciated my work with Margaret Domain. Grieving the loss of loved ones requires kindness and professional care and Margaret offered both.
With hope in a very challenged state, Margaret brought much needed renewed hope in just one video session. She has a way of addressing the issues with no noticeable bias. She balances a very none threatening communication growth between husband and wife to get to the excitement of re-building a love relationship back into the marriage. Highly recommend her.
Margaret has taken time to understand my situation and my life in a way that has helped me heal tremendously. Having someone who can guide me to finding myself and teencounseling.coming my confidence has been so impactful during this period in my life. I would highly recommend Margaret to anyone!
She’s very helpful and is able to help you understand difficulties in a different way.
Margaret is amazing! She had me and my situation pegged very quickly. She asks meaningful, pointed questions and provides frequent feedback. Im very happy with my progress with her.
She’s great at listening and addressing concerns I’ve never thought about before. We also have a great laugh which is always appreciated x
I already feel that she's a MUCH better match for me than the previous therapist (from whom I switched). Margaret is professional, and friendly while also respecting the boundaries of a therapist-client relationship. She also seems very smart, and I respect that. I'm excited to be working with her; it makes me hopeful that I can make progress.
Margaret is a very compassionate person who truly cares about helping others. She's not only a professional, she connects with others to help them have a better and healthier life!
