Maggie Seymour, Clinician (she/her)

I help clients move from surviving to thriving in their personal and professional life.   I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your goals with curiosity and clarity. Using a psychodynamic and experiential foundation, we will navigate life’s transitions, reduce barriers, and strengthen your connection to self and others.

Individual Therapy
Transitions are inevitable and change is hard. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, trauma, performance pressure, identity shifts, or relational challenges, I will work with you to identify where you want to go and grow next and how to overcome obstacles that have hindered you.  Together we will build strategies grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored to your values:

• Clarify goals and intention in your personal, relational, and professional arenas

• Restore a balanced sense of self and purpose

Couples Therapy
I work with couples to redefine partnership and deepen connection when major life events occur (both expected and unexpected). Specializing in new parents and co-parenting, I will work with you to improve communication, intimacy, and relational resilience.  Focusing on your goals, we will process complex transitions, rebalance, and restore a sense of connected partnership and create a new working model:

• Build sustainable emotion-regulation and effective coping strategies

• Deepen emotional and physical intimacy

• Rebuild trust after breaches or distance

• Approach ethical non-monogamy (ENM) with clarity and care

• Cultivate a more meaningful, purpose-driven life together

Experience
I’m a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Washington, DC, and the states of Maryland and Virginia working under the supervision of Carolyn Bell. I hold a BA in Political Science from Loyola University, MAs in Counseling Clinical Mental Health (Marshall University), Sociology (University of Alabama Birmingham), Journalism (University of Missouri at Columbia), Military History (Norwich University), and Public Leadership (University of San Francisco), and a PhD in International Studies from Old Dominion University.

My professional background includes ten years of active-duty service as a Marine Corps intelligence officer, where I taught intelligence, operations, ethics, and leadership. I also served as a foreign service officer with the U.S. Department of State and completed a service year as an AmeriCorps VISTA.

My work draws from a range of evidence-based frameworks, including EMDR, IFS, Attachment Theory, Experiential, and Somatic Experiencing. I am a proud veteran, wife and mom of four.
