About Margo Arrowsmith
She has focused extensively on helping adult children and their parents build more constructive, respectful relationships, emphasizing clear boundaries and practical solutions. Margo is the author of the book "Keep Your Parents Home: Keep Your Job and Life: Save Your Fortune and Sanity" and maintains a related resource at keepyourparentshome.com. Her book grew from both professional experience and personal caregiving, and she is collaborating with a professional writer to expand the material to include guidance for couples after receiving feedback from a caregiver who found the book especially helpful.
In addition to family work, Margo supports creative self-expression for people whose life challenges have impeded their ability to write, paint, or pursue other artistic activities. She has developed a focused system for addressing bulimia and overeating and draws on decades of experience helping people recover from childhood abuse - including work with older adults who seek healing later in life.
Margo also brings specialized experience with adoption and foster care issues, assisting adult adoptees and birth parents through reunions and related family work when desired. As an Interfaith Minister trained in spiritual direction and dream work, she helps clients explore their spiritual lives as a resource for dealing with personal challenges. Over her career she has worked successfully with many people in long-term recovery, while noting that active alcoholism and active addiction fall outside the cases she has been able to help resolve.
Across a wide range of needs - from hospice and end-of-life counseling to workplace and communication problems, body image, codependency, and midlife concerns - Margo adapts her methods to what will be most effective for each client, drawing on decades of practice and ongoing training.

Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and clients may change therapists if they would like a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers a practical and effective way to receive ongoing support from qualified therapists while accommodating individual needs and daily life.
