Very simply put – Margaret has changed my life.

My journey of therapy has been a long and winding one due to how long I waited to get therapy. At this stage of my journey, I absolutely encourage people seek therapy sooner than later, before any more time passes.

Margaret and I just clicked from the start. Her personality, compassion and passion for her profession and helping her clients has really made therapy not so bad!
Even in my late ’40s, I was quite apprehensive about divulging and expressing every last detail of my life to a stranger. But, I knew that if I wanted help, that’s what had to happen. Margaret was encouraging and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She now knows absolutely everything about me, good, bad and ugly! And I have to say, she is the only person in my life that knows literally everything.

I can’t thank her enough for being a great therapist, being a great friend and confidant, being a virtual shoulder to cry on and for investing genuine care in me.

Thank you for changing my life!

The impact Margaret has had on my life

Nothing I can say can truly emphasize the impact Margaret has had on my life. I went to her battered and broken from a 13 year relationship. Her techniques and compassion not only addressed the right now, but also the PTSD and anxiety attacks. Through EMDR (which is magical), I was able to address my past and deep rooted events/emotions. I now have healthy coping mechanisms and boundaries that I teach my four beautiful children.

Margaret is an amazing therapist

Margaret is an amazing therapist. She showed me an extreme amount of patience when all I wanted to do was talk about my ex fiance. She let me rant, cry my eyes out for months on end with no judgement. She made me feel safe. Safe enough to share things I’ve never ever talked about with anyone. Her patience, listening and guidance eventually got me to focus on myself.

Some exercises she gave me helped and some didn’t and if they didn’t work she never took it personally and she found other approaches that I could relate to. My time with her has taught me so much about myself. I now am able to question my feelings and have a better understanding where those thoughts and feelings come from. This has been a true game changer for me. She has made a difference in my life.

Life changing EMDR therapy

I have been attending zoom therapy appointments with Margaret Barry for over two years now, the longest I have stayed consistent with therapy. Margaret is kind, patient, supportive and honest. She’s very relatable and has always asked me where and what I feel comfortable working on. She’s also helped me to do the work on processing traumas that I would have never otherwise faced. We recently started working on EMDR therapy and while it’s not easy work, it’s been life changing for me. Digging into past traumatic experiences has allowed true healing to begin. The journey is slow, painful and hard work but very worth it. My growth is possible because of Margaret, because of her willingness to connect with me. Over the years I have seen many therapists both in person and over zoom but it was just me checking a box that “I was in therapy.” I was only able to share surface level issues and continued to hide the real me and the deep pain I was facing everyday. I thank Margaret so much for seeing me and working hard with me on my healing. She’s the type of therapist that I hope everyone has the ability to find so they can feel seen and heard.

More than a therapist

Margaret is the type of therapist that makes you feel like she’s more than just a therapist. She doesn’t just listen to you but also helps you understand what is being said. She focuses on what you think is going on. I have been going to therapy on and off for almost 20 years, and it was always so hard to stay committed to it, knowing I needed it. She has made me feel like she is someone I can be honest with because she has the best interest at heart to help me. 🙂

Incredibly kind, understanding, and patient

Margaret has been incredibly kind, understanding, and patient throughout my journey of managing anxiety. From the very beginning, she asked all the right questions and helped me make sense of what I was going through, even when I couldn’t fully understand it myself. Her comforting presence and professional demeanor created a safe space for me to open up.
What truly sets Margaret apart is her ability to present practical coping strategies that not only address anxiety in the moment but also promote a lasting peace of mind. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve gained tools that are useful even when I’m not feeling anxious. Her support has made a profound difference in my life, and I’m so grateful to have had her help.
