Maggie Mer McDanal, LPC, MHC
Maggie earned her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP), Palo Alto, California, blending traditionally successful psychological approaches such as EMDR, NLP, and hypnosis with creative and nature-based therapeutic modalities, all navigated by your spiritual beliefs and in celebration of your age, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, and religious preferences.
Transpersonal Psychology honors a client’s authentic path as navigated by their beliefs — spiritual, cultural, and otherwise. All are welcome.
Maggie is currently licensed to provide counseling services in Florida, Colorado, and Washington, and the Caribbean including the US Virgin Islands.
Maggie specializes in acute and chronic/complex trauma, attachment as trauma, oppression, grief, adjustment (difficult and often unexpected transitions), and women’s issues from a nourishing, compassionate, and safe environment. Maggie is certified in EMDR, Hypnosis, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Maggie is currently partaking in a year long intensive to become a Psychedelic Therapy Facilitator.

Maggie resides in Florida with her donkeys and goats, so as to move fluidly between the wilds of Colorado and the Caribbean, and because her inner child so loves to play. “Florida is a playful state!” Maggie is passionate about psychology, writing, film that bridges all cultures in a collective spirit, travel that explores our differences and similarities, the songs of palms and pines as they are orchestrated in the world by the moon, and all creatures under the sea. Maggie believes in the transformational power of healing by way of compassionate dialogue that results in trust and exploration, play, and the coming to know one’s self in nature — be it with a snorkel and turtle friends in sapphire water or atop a mountain covered in white nearly to the sky.
