Who We Help

Synergy provides specialized treatment in the areas of ADHD, Parent-Child Conflict, Disruptions in Attachment and Bonding, Victims of Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and Relationship concerns.

Synergy is collaborating with Kathi Donnelly, Ommworks, LLC to integrate the Ommworks Active Wellness Program into individual sessions. This work has allowed them to increase their ability to meditate and utilize mind/body strategies ending with an experience described by one person to be a "peaceful clarity".  These strategies allow participants to experience the ability to DECIDE TO RESPOND rather than react to their surroundings and outside influences.

Synergy has opened an office at 414 East Savannah Road, Lewes, Delaware and is now accepting new clients. Most insurances and private pay are accepted. To schedule your appointment today call (302) 703-2276 or email us at pgaestel@thebettertogethergroup.org

About me
Margaret M Gaestel (Peggy) MSW, LCSW (DE), LCSW-C (MD), LCSW (NC)

Co-Founder of Synergy is a Clinical Social Worker in Delaware, North Carolina and Maryland, she has worked with a variety of people in many situations. Peggy has worked in multiple settings where she learned the importance of respecting people for who they are, and

recognizing and building on the strengths, and resilience, each person brings to their life circumstances.

Synergy Behavioral Health Group is a Public Benefit LLC.  Part of the mission of Synergy is to share diverse ways of engaging individuals in treatment and providing trainings to Therapists and other Professionals to improve our ability to serve people who have been impacted by Trauma

Cliché as it may sound, I would not be where I am today without Peggy's guidance and support.  I started therapy with Peggy through Synergy Behavioral Health almost a decade ago, with no direction in life and a lot of self-hate, anger, fear, and pain. I've done Hospital and CPS - mandated therapy before, with little to negative impact. So voluntarily seeking out a therapist as an adult was a huge decision - and luckily, the best decision I've made for myself.

I had no clue how important it was to have a specialised therapist - in my case, a therapist specializing in trauma, who is incredibly familiar with CPTSD, and the various mental and behavioral conditions that come from childhood trauma. Through EMDR and Neurofeedback Therapy, along with learning about and establishing mindful practices, Peggy taught me quite literally how to calm the chaos in my brain. From that basic but crucial foundation, she helped me discover my calling and develop the skills I needed to become the powerful woman I am today. Therapists aren't the single-visit-cure people want - they are the Guides and Guardians of the mind, body and soul that people need. And the best ones, you find yourself coming back to throughout the years, to help guide you through the never-ending Ocean Waves of Life. That's who Peggy is for me.
