Margaret "Maggie" Nash, LCSW

Margaret "Maggie" Nash is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of private practice experience who moved to Fort Myers, Florida after a long period of work in Washington DC. She combines professional knowledge with a light touch of humor, believing that laughter can be a meaningful part of grieving, healing, recovery and problem solving, and she weaves that perspective into her clinical work. As an author who is available for television interviews upon request, she brings both public-facing experience and a steady clinical presence to her practice.

Her work often centers on relationship issues - with partners, family members, or the relationship people have with themselves - and she addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and grief. She names the common struggle many people face of being unforgiving or punitive toward themselves and offers treatment focused on change and compassionate persistence. She aims to dispel the belief that pain is permanent or that a person does not deserve to feel better, noting that those ideas are not accurate and are treatable.

Margaret "Maggie" Nash describes herself as compassionate and persistent and is an advocate for improving mental health treatment. As an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained to provide therapeutic services - she supports clients through life transitions, relationship challenges and recovery work with an emphasis on practical problem solving and emotional healing.
