About

Maggie Poandl, Ph.D., LPC (SC & VA)

My name is Maggie, and I have been practicing as a therapist since 2012 in many settings, currently in private practice. Gibbes, the most loving, joyful golden retriever, happily comes along for the ride as well! I am currently working exclusively online.

After graduating from the University of Virginia and Wake Forest University, I pursued my training in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, which is the modality I use most often. I have witnessed powerful personal transformation and healing with many of my clients using this form of therapy. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2026 with my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, and now work as a professor at UVA in Charlottesville.

I look to create a comfortable, safe and accepting environment that allows each person to explore more of their own depths. Because this work can be unfamiliar for most people, I value the feelings of safety, comfort and ease throughout this process. I look forward to meeting you!
