A Therapist’s Journey into Helping Others
FORTHCOMING BOOK
After watching her only child get ready to leave for college, a full-time mom decides it’s time to reinvent her life by plunging into graduate school; she’s on a quest for a meaningful life and a second career; there she masters mental health tools and concepts which she will bring to her clients for healing; guiding those who wrestle with self-sabotage and resistance to move toward their truest self.
Margot Schultz, LPC has been working in clinical practice since 2010, providing mental health counseling. Her training and direct experience has included therapeutic modalities such as Emotional Freedom technique, Mindfulness-based stress reduction, Polyvagal theory, trauma work such as EMDR and Brainspotting, Gottman method for couples, pastoral care in hospitals, end-of-life care in hospice, and of course, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Over the course of many years, her treatment focus has been gravitating toward helping people navigating Life Transitions (at any age) especially those which impact self-esteem.

Role Models & Predecessors
Margot has been interested in Carl Rogers since the beginning of her graduate school training. His emphasis on insight-oriented therapy has been influential, as well as his teaching on Unconditional Positive Regard. He directed his students to try as much as possible to feel what the client is feeling (empathy) in order to make the treatment as relevant as possible to them. Her second favorite psychologist is Martin Seligman who founded the Positive Psychology movement – including the work of Sonja Lyubomirsky.
In nonfiction literature, Margot has continued to return to the writings of Thomas Merton, Thich Nhat Hahn and Jacques Philippe. In philosophy, she admires the existentialist Soren Kierkegaard. She also loves the memoirs Wild by Cheryl Strayed and Educated by Tara Westover.
The best book she has read in a book club: Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.
Margot Schultz’s forthcoming book is about the helping professions and how to assist people who are seeking change or consolation for their difficulties. It is also a deeper look at Compassion and what it means to offer this to another human being.
