Margaret Brako

Welcome

I work with clients who are at a turning point. Something that used to work no longer feels right, or a longstanding issue is finally ready to be addressed. In our work together, I bring warmth, practical tools, and room for laughter, even when life feels hard. Whether we’re meeting for weekly therapy or preparing for and integrating your psychedelic experience, you’ll have space to make sense of this moment and explore what comes next.

About

Margaret Brako, LCSW, has worked in mental health since 2012. She specializes in helping adults with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. While Margaret is especially attuned to the challenges faced by people navigating multiple cultures, she welcomes clients from all backgrounds. Margaret began offering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in 2020 and also supports clients through psychedelic integration. In addition to her clinical practice, she teaches for the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and consults with clinicians developing their KAP practices. Her approach is trauma-informed and relational, with an emphasis on mindfulness, somatic awareness, and parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). Therapy, preparation, and integration sessions are typically virtual, while KAP dosing sessions are held in person. There is currently a waitlist for in-person KAP appointments.
