Margaret is the best. I couldn’t say a single bad word about her, she just gets it.

Margaret is very patient, understanding and sensitive with her approach. She is really interested in her clients and does her job well. I don't feel insecure about telling her anything, I know that she will always see things objectively and won't judge me, which is really important in therapy.

Margaret is very kind, supportive and patient. Talking to her is really helping me understand myself better, which is what I was looking for, and putting myself first.
