Connect with Mary Margaret Eldridge
Counseling Intern
As a counselor, my approach is to walk alongside individuals and serve as a guide; to connect authentically, with curiosity, and with integrity, creating a space where one feels safe, seen, and genuinely understood. Together, we’ll take a sensitive, holistic approach to your care, working together to determine your individual needs, while honoring your unique story. We will also incorporate preventative work, not just trauma resolution. Our work will be grounded in a trauma-informed psychodynamic theory, while also integrating other meaningful practices, including somatic exercises to connect your mind and body, parts work to better understand your inner world, and narrative therapy to help you make sense of your story in a way that brings health and healing. Above all, this is a place where all parts of you are welcome.
I am entering the counseling field later in life, bringing not only formal training but also a depth of lived experience. This enables me to meet people with grace, empathy, and a non-judgmental presence. I feel honored to hold complex and painful stories, and seek to do so with care.
Education and Training
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with a focus in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, from the University of Georgia. I am currently a candidate for a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Trauma Counseling Certificate from Richmont Graduate University, with an expected graduation date of May 2027.
Additionally, I am presently furthering my training with participation in the Somatic Wellness Collective and the Trauma Research Foundation’s Integrate Program. Upon graduation, I plan to pursue further study and certifications in Somatic Experiencing and trauma-informed yoga instruction. I am also a student member of the American Counseling Association.
Having spent previous decades working in corporate and university settings, as well as extensive volunteer work in non-profit and religious organizations, I have had the opportunity to help individuals and groups through challenges and change. Those experiences continue to shape who I am and how I show up today: grounded, compassionate, and committed to helping others in their healing journey.
About Mary Margaret
Outside of my work, I enjoy connecting with family and friends; tending to my home and garden; and spending time outdoors – all places where I find rest and renewal.
