Maggie Spoelhof
LCSW: Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my BA in psychology from Calvin University and a Masters of Social Work Degree from Colorado State University. The bulk of my work history has been in child welfare and working specifically with children and youth in the context of their families. I apply a strengths based perspective that is also family centered and trauma informed. I often utilize play therapy when working with kids. My main areas of interest and work include trauma, depression and anxiety related concerns, family conflict, women’s issues, and spirituality.
We all have a lot of navigating to do these days, and I really enjoy walking alongside individuals as they pilot life’s transitions and changes. Adjusting can be hard, scary work -- even overwhelming at times. That’s where having a therapist comes into play. How can I help support you along life’s path in ways that empower and, at times, challenge you? My goal is to help encourage and support you in discovering your potential through healthy change and/or healing. We all have pasts; it’s in acknowledging where we come from and where we’ve been that we gain the opportunity to understand our present, and can help manifest positive change for our future. I’d like to help you redefine your potential and find purpose by starting exactly where you are, today.
My goal is to develop an empathetic and supportive relationship in an environment conducive to positive change. I want to help dismantle destructive thought processes and replace them with positive coping skills and ways of thinking that better serve you, your goals, and desires.
What I do for fun:
In my free time you can find me with family! We love the Morton Arboretum, spending time playing outdoors, and swimming/swim meets!
