Mental Health Counselor

Hello, my name is Maggie Donius. I offer therapy services at our Braintree, MA clinic.

I use a person-centered approach and believe in the power of play and theater to promote healing, creativity, and growth. I have experience working with children, adolescence, and young adults managing their grief over the loss of a parent, child, or sibling. I also have experienced working with young adults with learning disabilities and developmental delays in a supportive college environment. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in drama therapy. I believe in the collaborative process between the therapist and the client.

Together, we will create a thoughtful, playful, collaborative safe space to explore feelings and how to cope with stressful thoughts and situations. Besides talk therapy, I like to use an embodied approach to foster creativity and bring circumstances and play to life. I like to use an expressive arts approach, person-centered with CBT.

I believe in sharing your feelings and asking for help is a brave and powerful thing to do. I want my patients to know that I believe in the power of empathy and unconditional positive regard. I want my patients to know that I am a safe and trustworthy person who is excited about getting to know them as individuals and growing together in session.
