S. Margot Schultz, M.A., NCC, MTS, Resident in Counseling

Margot Schultz graduated from Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia with a Master's degree in Counseling in August 2010. She passed her national counseling certification (NCC) exam in October 2010. During her course of studies, she trained at a women's shelter and a hospice. During both of these work experiences, she met with many people who were going through difficult times. She was deeply impressed to see how people in crisis kept finding new ways to cope and move forward. Counseling is of great assistance in client's attempts to be resilient.

Additional training includes a Master's (M.T.S.) degree in theology from Duke University Divinity School, as well as an internship semester working as a hospital chaplain. She continues to draw upon her faith background as a source of inspiration and strength. Margot offers cognitive-behavioral treatment and expressive arts techniques. These can be applied to many psychological difficulties including anxiety, low self-esteem, identity and self-concept issues, career choices, grieving, women's issues, parenting, marriage preparation, religious abuse, and depression.

 

Margot is married and she and her husband have a daughter, of whom they are very proud. She positively affirms that parenting can be one of the best and most satisfying experiences of life. Also, she especially enjoys working with engaged couples to help them prepare for marriage.
