“If you’re looking for direct, empathetic support, I highly recommend Margaret Sumption. She expertly guided me through a situation I thought would be nearly impossible to survive with my heart and mind intact. Yet, after less than a year, here I am, heart and mind intact and flourishing. Margaret is a gift I will be forever grateful for having received.”

“Margaret is a wonderful therapist. She listens and tries to help you find ways to navigate whatever it is you're dealing with through the lens of operating from a place that's guided by your core values. She's also straight forward and isn't afraid to tell you like it is, even if you might not want to hear it and I really appreciate that about her. But, she doesn't make you feel judged. She holds you accountable while helping to guide you and give you tools so that you are better equipped to handle your issues in a healthy, positive and progressive manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.”

“Margaret is incredibly knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She always knows what to say and how to say it.”

“Margaret has been very helpful in providing me with an understanding of the grieving process that I am experiencing and given me many suggetions and tools to help me heal.”

“I’m so grateful for Margaret! She is compassionate, insightful, and makes me feel truly heard. I’ve gained so much clarity and growth through our work together, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, supportive therapy.”

“Amazing. I love her”

“Margaret is great. My life is better with her in it.”

“I was matched with a therapist who took the time to hear my needs!! I am thankful to have two very positive sessions so far.”

“Margaret is just what I needed! I went through 2 other therapists before her and had almost given up on the idea of therapy. But, the first time I met Margaret I knew that we would be a good match. She's honest, straight forward, and doesn't beat around the bush. But, at the same time she is compassionate, non judgemental, encouraging and supportive. She's helped me to start taking steps towards living a more values driven life where I am making decisions and taking actions that are aligned with my moral compass and core values. She has also been helpful with giving me easy yet effective tools to use when I get anxiety attacks or am feeling overwhelmed or over stimulated. I am also starting to be able to acknowledge and believe in my own value and worth which has helped me to have the strength and confidence to leave a relationship which was detrimental to my emotional well being and mental health. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Margaret is a thoughtful, insightful and compassionate therapist. I highly recommend her work!”

“Margaret is such a wonderful therapist! She’s a great listener, compassionate and always has the right things to say. I would recommend her to anyone seeking support.”

“Greatly experienced and understanding to help self growth and self understanding to deal with things that occur in life.”

“Margaret is an absolutely outstanding therapist. She has a very broad background, is an active listener, and constantly endeavors to lead those she is helping to actionable steps they can take to improve both the way they frame their current concerns and practically address them. She is very compassionate and truly concerned for the welfare of those she is helping.”

“Margaret and I were placed together at a random. But every time I meet with her, I feel like we were destined to be in each other‘s lives. She has helped me through some of the toughest times and I could not feel more confident in her help that she has given to me. And she has made me realize how that it is possible to be a better version of myself.”

“Margaret is a good match for me. She and I have an easy-going style of communicating. She has helped me get back on track.”
