Probably my third time writing a review here, but Michelle is fantastic and highly recommended. She's a careful and attentive listener and has offered me a series of great recommendations that don't feel the least bit forced. My mental health is in a clear, positive, and calm space because of her!

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.

Michelle is the best therapist I have ever had. She truly makes an effort to get to know you and genuinely wants to help. I've made so much progress without even realizing it. I am so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her enough.
Michelle has influenced me in the most positive manner possible - I couldn't recommend her enough. She listens intently to what I have to say and focuses on helping me better myself in any way that she can on a week-to-week basis.
Extremely understanding. She sends me videos to watch, and worksheets to keep my therapy moving in the right direction. She always answers me in a timely manner, and does not make me feel ashamed for any of my feelings.
Michelle has been a great resource for me in the short time I’ve worked with her. I am looking forward to working with her as we continue along this journey.
