My name is Margaret Whitmore, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I began working in the mental health field in 2015 as a case manager. In 2019, I graduated with my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Ursuline College. I am dedicated to providing counseling services to those looking to reignite their spark in life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During this initial meeting, our primary focus will be to collaboratively identify your personal goals for therapy. We will also explore any potential barriers or challenges that might be currently preventing you from achieving these goals. This foundational discussion will help us create a clear path forward and tailor our work to your specific needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Clients experience growth when they choose to work with me because I have a natural ability to deeply understand, validate, and reflect their life experiences. Many feel comfortable to opening up early on, which allows us to quickly get to the heart of the challenges and patterns that brought them to therapy. I take pride in connecting with people from every background. My goal is for you to feel seen, heard, and supported as you grow and move toward the life you want and deserve.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I provide compassionate, culturally responsive therapy for people carrying heavy, often unspoken pressures—whether from roles, relationships, identity, or life transitions. My goal isn’t just to treat a diagnosis, but focus on supporting you in reconnecting with your most authentic self. We have all been faced with circumstances that lead us away from our WHY. At Spark33, I will support you in releasing the weight of expectations so you can move toward an empowered, self-assured way of living that reignites your spark.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
As a culturally responsive therapist, I provide a space where your identity, lived experiences, and emotions are seen, heard, and respected. Whether you're navigating cultural expectations, identity stress, or generational patterns, our work will center your voice and your healing—without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I support clients in improving their emotions, self image, and behaviors by changing unhelpful thought patterns.

She is super helpful and allows me to open up while also offering her guidance and perspective! She is also warm and makes me laugh and I can’t wait for my next session with her

I’ve had 3 sessions so far and was so nervous for my first one- just not knowing what to expect, am I going to be judged, etc. BUT let me say, Margaret is wonderful! I look forward to talking to her every week now. She does an amazing job at validating feelings, boosting self confidence, and she’s very easy to talk to. Absolutely would recommend her to anyone!

Very easy to talk to, but also solution oriented. I understand that finding a therapist is trial and error, but after trying a bunch of different therapists and never had one fit me this well. In three years, I’ve never been able to be so comfortable speaking to someone and she has truly allowed me to open up, grow, help me come to terms with things in myself, and helped me come up with solutions to better myself.
