Margaret is just the person I needed. She’s kind and gentle but tells you what you need to hear when you need it in an easy way to digest. She’s very accommodating and genuine. She’s a great asset to BetterHelp and manages the platform great.

Margaret has been so so helpful and supportive throughout my sessions. I’m really glad that she was paired with me as my therapist. She’s very active with response, her scheduling works very well with mine and if there is ever a time where I need to arrange something schedule wise she is always more than willing to work with me on that. I enjoy her methods during our sessions. When things get a little too intense for me emotionally she knows the right thing to do in order to help me ground. I’m very excited and interested in participating in her EDMR techniques to help me with my trauma. If you have been paired with her, you won’t regret it one bit! Super thankful for her insight and steady support!
