Margaret Huddleston, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Margaret!

I work with adults and adolescents struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, anxiety, and stress. I love helping clients reach their goals through compassionate, specialized support.

My focus

My style resonates with teens, young adults, and adults. I work with clients struggling with disordered eating, body image, and anxiety-related concerns. I also support clients addressing life transitions, boundary-holding, and managing life stressors.

My approach

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I utilize a client-focused approach and want you to be in the driver's seat. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and tailor my methods to meet your unique needs.

My communication style

I want therapy to feel inviting, relaxing, and approachable. I have a conversational style and seek to build trust and safety. I lead with compassion, empathy, and understanding while valuing honesty and accountability.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because it was important to me to do work that matters. I left a demanding job to be with people and create a lasting impact on their lives.

My goals for you

Achieving goals is never easy. I work with you to break them down into approachable and achievable steps that work for you.

Our first session

I view our first session as an opportunity to get to know you and what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions to fully understand you. Most importantly, this is the time to see if I'm a good fit for you.
