This is my first experience with therapy and I'm so glad I got Michelle as my first therapist. She makes me feel extremely comfortable and is so easy to communicate with her. She pays close attention to me, how I respond and my facial expressions. She helped me understand about ADHD and how to work with it, which is very new to me. She has been available at times were I urgently needed to speak to someone. She is excellent and I'm so grateful to have her as my therapist. Couldn't of asked for anyone better.

I've had several other therapists, and Michelle is the best by far. She not only carefully listens and responds to my thoughts and needs but communicates with me in a way that works for me. She respects my intelligence while offering help. That is super important to me.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Michelle has been amazing in helping me identify my problems, but what really stands out is the techniques she gives me to help me in everyday life. 10/10 would reccommend her to friends and strangers alike.
Speaking with Michelle has been positive and helpful for me. Conversations have been proactive, informative, and incredibly kind which I appreciate.
Straight forward and respectful, Michelle takes me seriously and treats me with kindness and compassion. She is by far the best therapist I've had to date.
