Hi,
I'm Maggie.

Maggie Hemphill, MA, LMHCA, CPC

I am a relational psychodynamic therapist and narrative focused trauma care practitioner based out of Kitsap County. In my practice I offer psychotherapy in-person on Bainbridge Island or via telehealth to anyone residing in Washington State. Story Work is open to anyone worldwide. Here's a little bit about me:

​​​​​

Theoretical Orientation

  • Relational Psychodynamic means I believe that healing happens through relationship.

  • I am analytically inclined, heavily influenced by the British Object Relations tradition (the work of Bion, Winnicott, Klein) as well as the larger psychoanalytic community, including Freud and Lacan. 

  • Being depth oriented means I aim to work below the surface issues, to get to the deeper processes and patterns that silently and unconsciously shape our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. ​

Education / Training

  • Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology  Counseling internship at Bainbridge Youth Services.
