Dr. Margolies is a highly skilled, practical and effective therapist. Looking back on our sessions, these themes are evident. She focuses her skill and energy on reflecting my emotional state, so that I can become more aware of what is going on inside me. When conflicting thoughts and emotions are present, and I am unable to communicate clearly she recognizes this and adapts her viewpoint until she has “tuned in.” In a very practical way, she helps me identify when and how to set boundaries in my relationships, and to recognize the antecedents of success or failure in everyday social interactions. Her effectiveness as a therapist is evident when she acts as a guide in what seems to me to be a dark wilderness — as difficult thoughts and feelings emerge, I am able to allow pain and anxiety to rise and fall in her presence, increasing my confidence in my ability to tolerate similar thoughts and feelings when I am on my own.

Creative, insightful, kind, warm, knowledgeable, intellectual, empathetic. These are some of the qualities I appreciate about Dr. Lynn Margolies. She has been incredibly helpful to me in many ways. She helped me to parent my two sons while they were teenagers and continues to help me as I enjoy an adult relationship with them. I first contacted her after reading one of her columns about the over-emphasis on achievement for achievements sake that pervades much of parenting today. It was so refreshing and helpful to read her clear, precise, astute and timely views on issues we face as parents. Later I sought her out for help with my own depression and anxiety. I understand myself better because of her insight and also have effective coping strategies. She is helping me to reach my potential, and that is invaluable.

When I first started therapy with Dr. Margolies I was being sucked into a living hell and about to lose all that I cherished, trapped in a relationship that had become unbearably poisonous as years went by, a process that I had been unable to comprehend. I could see that I would not be able to stop, alone, the descent into the darkest days of my life. Little by little, one session at a time, over more than three years, Dr. Margolies, using great professional skills, gentle persistence, and unconditional humanity, pulled me out of the horror, helped me to regain the optimism and joy for life I once had, and taught me how to stay aware and mentally strong so that I can do what is right for me and my loved ones. I think that not many people, Dr. Margolies, can do what you have done for me and my loved ones. Thank you!

The first time I contacted Dr. Lynn Margolies I knew without a doubt that she was the absolute best psychologist to help me and my family through an overwhelmingly traumatic experience. It was obvious by the questions Dr. Margolies raised and the warm gentle fashion she raised them, that she was genuinely concerned about helping us push through our crisis, and genuinely concerned about our well being. Through our experience, I found Dr. Margolies to be very knowledgeable, personable, kind, caring, compassionate, thorough, trustworthy, accommodating, sensitive, respectable and professional. She has a positive calming spirit that made us feel secure. Dr. Margolies is not only a wonderful psychologist, but a wonderful human being. I am glad she was there to help me and my family during our time of need.

Intuitive, sincere, caring, comfortable, and “get’s it” quickly are some of the ways I would describe Dr. Lynn Margolies. I have been impressed with her high degree of intelligence, and her ability to work with me in a non-judgmental but interactive way, to allow me to develop skills to recognize and address issues I’m dealing with from my childhood - that I want to improve upon and resolve. I had experience with another therapist, but upon switching to Dr. Margolies, it was clear I wasted valuable time, since I learned more in the first few sessions with Lynn than I had in almost a year of therapy with the former doctor. Dr. Margolies is easy to trust because she tells you how she see’s it, has a positive approach, and works diligently to help you improve yourself and your life.

I first met Dr. Margolies in 1992. I was struggling with the effects of early childhood trauma and was in very bad shape. To say that it was difficult for me to entrust someone with my story and the intensity of my pain would be an understatement. Yet I felt almost immediately at ease with Dr. M. She has enormous integrity and compassion. I have always felt her respect for me as she has allowed me to develop my own inner resources for healing. She is unflinching, direct, and gentle. I know of very few people who have healed from this kind of abuse to the degree that I have and, while I have been blessed with many friends who have supported my hard work, I dont know that I would have made it, soul intact, without Dr. Margolies consistent presence, faith, and insight.
