Dr. Felder was able to help me with my immediate needs of self harm reduction and is continuing to help me with long term goals. He is obviously experienced and skilled. My sense is that most other therapists on this platform are not capable on his level.

Good day and allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael H. Feldler, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a trained individual, family, group, trauma, and addiction specialist. I have over thirty-four years of experience working with children, adults, and family's in a variety of settings. In addition to my clinical training, I have worked for the past fourteen years as an instructor and supervisor to students on both an undergraduate and graduate level in a college based mental health training clinic. I am skilled in psychodynamic, client-centered, REBT, CBT, DBT, inter-relational, motivational, and family modalities. I believe in the importance of listening to what is being said, recognizing the relevance of motivation towards healing, and providing a safe and secure space to relate both thoughts and feelings. I am a trained group therapist, skilled in teaching as well as conducting sessions for individuals with trauma, addiction, and identified as a sex offender. Often times what brings you into treatment or therapy is just the tip of the iceberg and with exploration we can work on both the direct causes as well as the underlying measures towards health and personal growth. The essence of life is to feel complete, reduce loneliness, and isolation, and ultimately minimize those influences that prevent us from being "the person(s) we want to be." I look forward to hearing from you, establishing a positive and secure relationship and working on what brings you to a helping environment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The best therapist on the planet! I highly recommend Prof. Feldler. He is truly an expert!
Prof. Felder is intelligent, compassionate and keenly in tune with what a patient needs to connect via a remote session. He is professional, experienced and someone highly recommended if there is a lived experience that few would understand. He walks with his patients, seeks clarity, and makes sure they know, he is ethically, professionally and skillfully there. A great listener and translator of information., someone new to therapy will benefit from his level of support.
Great listener, highly recommend
Prof. Feldler is a really calm, respectful and caring therapist. He has a lot of insights and shares them in a non-judgmental way. At the same time, he is always very appreciative for me as the client too. He helps me think about myself in a deeper manner. I also really like that near the end of every session, he would schedule the next session for continuity.
Prof. Feldler does a great job of listening and supporting me. I feel he truly understands me. And as a result, he is able to provide meaningful suggestions and guidance that help me keeps things in perspective and enable me to navigate my situations. He also makes himself available and checks in with me between sessions, which I appreciate. I would highly recommend him
Prof. Feldler is great! Thank you so much!
Highly recommend. I could not have wished or imagined a better fit.
Awesome psychologist
My time with Professor Feldler has been an enlightening one. I've felt heard and was given various perspectives on my situation, which ultimately helped me create a better work-life balance. I'd be happy to recommend Micheal to anyone.
Prof Felder genuinely cares for me & my wellbeing. He listens and remembers my concerns and struggles and helps me to work through them in a way that I may not have seen on my own. I look forward to speaking with him weekly. He has a gift for what he does and I so greatly appreciate that he shares it with me. He is respectful, professional, polite, & kind in his approach and that makes me feel comfortable to tell him everything that is weighing heavily upon me. He has helped me a great deal and I know he will continue to do so. I have recommended him to my friend, Patty Wilkinson, who has recently began therapy with BetterHelp & I cannot wait to see the positive impact it has on her life as it has had on mine! I cannot recommend him enough & words just cannot possibly express my gratitude. I’m so glad I was assigned him and he to me. Perfect placement. Thank you.
Professor Feldler is extremely in tune with his expertise and not only provides a neutral third-party view but finds the little things that make a person tick and becomes someone you feel comfortable to reach out to. I’ve been to therapy multiple different times and this is the one time I feel I can and WANT to continue. Highly recommend.
As sad as I am that our time abruptly came to an end I wouldn’t be where I am today with out Mike’s Guidance and understanding. He’s been with me through some very intense periods of my life and helped me not only build the skills I needed to succeed but also the confidence to be me in all areas of my trauma. I hope when things are financially easier I can return
Dr Fielder is an insanely good therapist. A highly trained psychologist with an amazing insight and a very warm and kind way of interacting with his clients. He’s a rare gem and I am grateful I found him.
He's fantastic. Knows his stuff, listens, and offers solid advice and insight
Professor Feldler is a very good therapist. He really listens to you and understands where you are at and helps you discover where you want to go. He is very knowledgeable in a wide range of different therapies, very easy to talk to, and very empathetic and trustworthy. I am really amazed at his responsiveness and intuitiveness. I am so grateful for his help going through this difficult time in my life as well as his help in healing past wounds and trauma. I would recommend him to everybody seeking a professional therapist.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you guys for being available to people with problems they can handle
Understanding, great listener, sensetive
Professor Feldler is absolutely fantastic. He is extremely responsive, very caring, and makes me feel heard. He offers explanations and insights that are super useful.
Professor Michael Feldler is a consummate professional. I switched between 3 different therapists prior to being connected to him and the difference was immediately evident. Michael excels as a professor in class teaching young minds and I feel that tutorage in our sessions. He coaches, teaches and analyses.... always pushing me to forge my own discoveries and 'epiphany' moments without having to explicitly describe what needs to be done. He has actively deconstructed my behaviour so I can assess it objectively, listens intently to my words and always meets them with considered opinions, advice or explanations and he takes great pride in his work and helping those he takes on as clients. I feel safe, heard and like I'm actually DOING THE WORK with Michael and I couldn't be more grateful. As I continue to work towards personal life goals, changing behavioural patterns I would like to curb and learning to apply kindness where I once only invested self-loathing, I am beyond grateful to have Michael as my psychological 'Sherpa' to help me do so. Highly recommended and highly praised. Thank you Michael!
Prof Fiedler understood my issues right away, went great length to gather all details and provide the most useful advice. I am a changed person now and I'm very glad that I got to work with Michael
Prof. Feldler is amazing best therapist I’ve ever had. Truly listens and makes you feel seen & heard
Great therapist. He will be able to identify issues and work with you to find the best solution(s). Highly recommend.
Dr Feldler is very knowledgeable very approachable and very empathetic. He is easy to talk to and offers excellent support and responsiveness. He is saving me from myself and has kept me from going off the deep end. I highly recommend him to anybody who is struggling or even just seeking improvement in their life. He is impeccable in his response time as well as tuning into where you're at and where you want to go. He is a great provider and friend.
Prof. Feldler has made a profound impact on my personal development and ability to cope with obstacles in life. I am always surprised by his ability to encourage me to rediscover myself in every session. He has become a friend, a close confidante, and a trusted counselor within a few sessions. I look forward to our sessions every week/month.
I am a month into therapy with Prof. Felder and he is an excellent therapist. He balances insight and listening very well. I feel comfortable, validated and heard. He does an excellent job of remembering details. I’m looking forward to continuing this therapeutic relationship.
It's amazing what he remembers. Either he takes great notes, or his memory is incredible. He listens and tries to get me to think about what I can do to help myself without him telling me outright. But, after a little bit of me struggling and giggling oddly, he will explain why I do what I do.
In the few weeks of knowing Prof. Feldler he is the only therapist I've known that has actually gotten me to think outside the box, to really get into the roots of what's causing a lot of my anxiety and depression. I'm still learning everyday but very thankful that he gave me another way to look at things.
Dr feldler is a very good counselor. He listens very attentively and helps you sort through what you say to him. He is very empathetic and easy to talk to and helps you see a positive perspective in the midst of something negative. To me he is very trustworthy honest non-judgmental and helps you enact solutions in a way that works for you. Win better help ask me to describe what kind of counselor I wanted they picked the perfect person for me in Dr feldler. I felt he could read me like a book and pointed me in the right directions and offered me encouragement and positivity to go in those directions. Dr feldler not only helps you through his many years of training and education he also brings real life human experience of his own to the table which allows a person to establish trust make a real connection and feel like they are in competent caring hands. I look forward to working with Dr Feldler for a long time.
