I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in clinical mental health with experience in working with a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I also have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) which has been a useful tool in helping others not only cope with current concerns, but assist them in coping with future endeavors.
I believe in creating a strong, trusting, therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that tailors to your needs.
I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside and non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track. You can do it!

Jennifer has been an unwaivering source of grounding and support. I started therapy with her during one of the hardest times of my life, but now that I am in much better surroundings I still meet with her regularly because she helps me understand myself more and more as time goes on and also helps me build much needed confidence in myself as I pursue my life goals.

Jennifer has been such a positive force in my life since I began seeing her. She quickly helped me manage my most crucial stressors with helpful action items and coping skills before we started to tackle the deeper underlying issues. She's been so supportive and uplifting while still being straightforward and frank when needed.

Jennifer has been able to give me really great advice about how to better my life and my emotions. She gives resourceful information that you can rely on and trust. She is really great at answering all my questions and giving me tactics to help with my challenges.
Written on Mar 01, 2022 after therapy with Jennifer for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues, and trauma and abuse
I've been working on myself with Jennifer's help for a year now.
It's my first go-around with the therapy/counseling thing, and I can't express enough how supportive she's been throughout the experience.
She helps tune in to what's on my mind or troubling me, and she helps me figure out what to do about it.
It's a work in progress on my end, but I would absolutely recommend this woman to anyone who just needs some support, or an open ear with a mountain of suggestions behind her to help make your day a little better.

I started working with Dr. Maggar last November, and I am so incredibly grateful for this app pairing me with her. She has helped me through some really icky situations over the past year, and I feel like I’m building a healthy foundation of coping skills and boundaries. 10/10 would recommend Jennifer to anyone.
Written on Sep 17, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 10 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem
Jennifer has not only helped me work through trauma that has affected my day to day life and demeanor for years, but has given me the tools to feel confident moving forward myself. My struggle with intrusive thoughts stemming from trauma had taken over my life, but I feel like I have returned to myself and can successfully cope with the thoughts when they do come my way. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a personable, professional, and knowledgeable counselor who will really listen to your concerns and help give you the power to take your life back.

Written on Mar 23, 2021 after therapy with Jennifer for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting issues
Oh goodness! If there were words for how much Jennifer has really seen me, gotten to the root of me with such compassion, empathy, and understanding, and genuinely helped me in ways I’m already starting to notice in my life, I would say them here. But I’m not sure there are words that can adequately capture or express what she has done for me. Yet, I will leave more anyway. She is a such a caring and compassionate soul with a true gift for helping people - you would be lucky to have her come into your life.

Jen is really a perfect therapist for me. She’s kind, understanding and great at listening. She also keeps me focused on my goals and offers a variety of ways for healing. I appreciate that she also likes holistic approaches such as yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. While Jen is very knowledgeable and professional, it feels like I’m talking to an old friend. I would recommend everyone to Jen. In fact, all of my friends know about her already. :)

Jennifer helped me so much!!! I went to her because I was dealing with severe anxiety and insecurities. What I loved most about her is that she gave me actual tools that I could use on my own to help me overcome my anxiety. Jennifers tools and counseling work, but it was up to me to do the actual work and really take the time to practice them. She is so sweet, and has a really beautiful heart that could make anybody feel totally comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend!!
