Margaret Byrnes is a licensed clinical psychologist who has been providing psychological services for over 30 years. She obtained her doctorate in clinical psychology from Depaul University with a specialty in child psychology.

Margaret believes in resiliency and helps clients identify and utilize their strengths. She integrates a number of therapeutic perspectives and works with clients to collaboratively develop individualized treatment approaches. She is trained in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT; “tapping“), a well-researched method of psychological acupressure useful in reducing physiological stress and assisting healing. Quinn, her certified therapy dog, frequently joins her for sessions (though not with dog-adverse or allergic clients), along with Homer, the uncertified therapy hermit crab.

In her free time, Margaret enjoys the fine arts, reading, and family game nights. She values time in nature, including hiking, biking, and kayaking.
