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 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.

She is listening to my little concerns, even though I may only give her a whisper of their impact. A very insightful woman, with a boatload of expertise. I feel safe entrusting my chaotic psyche into her apt hands. Thank God for BetterHelp and especially, Margaret Sumption!

I never did therapy before but I came across major changes in my life and I needed to speak with someone. I was making constant anxiety crisis and could figure out how to get rid of them. I took a around 4-5 sessions with Margaret and she provided me with useful tool to apply in my life. We have agreed that I was good to fly on my own after only those sessions because her methods are highly effective if applied truly. I have meet a awesome person and the best therapist I could of hope for! Thank you Margaret you are the best
