Marguerite Spiotta Booth

Licensed Therapist

I'm naturally an "old-soul" and find myself drawn to understanding what's beneath the tip of the iceberg. Meeting you with compassion and non-judgement allows us to uncover your goals and motivations. You're in the driver's seat, and I'm offering a roadmap from the passenger's seat. Maybe you want to vent to the person in the passenger's seat, or maybe you prefer step-by-step directions. Either way, we'll partner to help you reach your destination!

What an amazing experience! Exceeded my expectations! I feel so confident about using Ascend moving forward.

Randy W.

I truly go through my virtual appointments feeling the same that I would if I was in person and that is most helpful.

Anna G.

I did not know how to explain my problem and the Ascend team called and asked the right questions so I would not feel shame asking for help.

Willie T.

Organized and trusting.

Judy J.

The best experience for me. Super caring and listening. Thank you so much.

She is very patient and kind. I will definitely be scheduling for follow-up care.
