I believe everyone is entitled to a happy and healthy life. At times, there are things that stand in the way of achieving that goal. Therapy is an essential tool in addressing any number of topics that can cause distress such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I believe that working together, we can identify problems, create solutions, and map out a more meaningful existence. I work with clients to manage symptoms and address core issues. I have work in the fields of substance abuse, trauma, and anxiety/depression. A client can expect a present, warm, caring, and educated therapist in our sessions. By coming to the table with your unique life experiences and struggles and with my professional experience and training, we can create the life that you envision.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Margaret Thomas- Lapsley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Though I haven’t had but two sessions with Margret, I can say with confidence she has helped. In such a short time my lows aren’t as low as before we started, she’s kind to me even when I can’t see how anyone could be, she isn’t judgmental, and most importantly she’s experienced. I highly recommend her!
