Margot Escott, LCSW


I am a dedicated, compassionate therapist with over 39 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions. Guided by the belief that life is change, I provide tools to help clients cope with uncertainty and grow resilience.
I specialize in anxiety, addiction, PTSD, mood disorders, and medical challenges, and integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, meditation, and Applied Improvisational Theatre into my work with clients. My approach is both evidence-based and experiential, helping clients live in the present, reduce anxiety, and build confidence through creativity, humor, and connection.
"Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional."

"My belief is that all therapy involves some aspect of grief work because it often requires confronting and processing loss, whether it's related to relationships, identity, or life changes. Healing from pain and trauma is a significant part of our treatment. I help individuals, families and couples find fulfillment despite their losses. I specialize in addictions, anxiety and suicide survivors."
