Maggie Mynatt, RMHC-I

Maggie Mynatt is a registered mental health counselor intern who received her Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Arkansas. For over two years she has worked in the private practice setting with teens, adults, and couples that have a diverse range of concerns (including anxiety, trauma and PTSD, depression, mood disorders, people-pleasing, setting boundaries, attachment issues, relationship distress, perfectionism, life transitions, and more).

As your counselor, Maggie wants to meet clients where they are and create a safe, judgment-free space that allows them to dig deep into what they are feeling and where it comes from. She utilizes a client-directed approach in therapy, so she values clients’ opinions on the therapeutic process and relationship. She aims for therapy to be collaborative, and she will check in with clients frequently to make sure they feel they are getting the most out of therapy. Maggie is an affirming therapist and continually works towards cultural competence in her practice.

Maggie is EMDR Trained, which heavily influences what therapy with her looks like. By guiding clients to realize how their past experiences are affecting their current functioning and processing distressing memories with bilateral stimulation, she has helped many clients decrease their distress level and create lasting change. She also pulls from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches to help clients better understand themselves and create meaningful lives.

 In her spare time, Maggie enjoys reading, going to the beach, watching reality tv shows, and cuddling her cat.
