Dr. Trainor is an amazing therapist. In my situation I felt very comfortable opening up to him and the feedback I received was always laid out in a way that was easily digestible. I believe this is one of his strong suits. In addition, Dr. Trainor would regular check on me in between sessions while providing handouts and readings for me to scan prior to our appointments which always helped me find more things to bring up in conversation.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

He is amazing and is very helpful
Extremely attentive and always has resources to send me that help with specific topics or problems I am trying to resolve.
Open minded, excellent listener, and very personable.
Michael has been therapist for many years and his especially kind. His voice is very soothing. definitely the highlight of my day
Although there is only so much you can get to know about someone on a weekly basis, Michael and I have increasingly become more open and understanding of each other's communication styles since we first met a few weeks ago. It has been a pleasure getting to meet with him and establishing that quality line of communication. He is very flexible regarding how sessions are conducted (call or video), understanding about outside circumstances (running late or technology issues), and timely and responsive to any messages I may send to him. In my opinion, he is a laid back man who truly wants to work at your pace. He'll leave it to you to start the discussion, and wants to hear what you have to say, while also chiming in when appropriate and giving his insights in the same manner. I am a very analytical and technical person, and, whether it is intentional or not, Michael helps balance that out at times with his approach. If I was to summarize my times spent meeting with Michael by referencing one circumstance, it would be when I had to see why my dog was barking while we were in a session. This led to us discussing dogs, and animals, etc. It was calming, and Michael knows I've been going through quite a bit over the past few months as I've been battling the stages of grief, so the calm moments are appreciated. I look forward to further working together with Michael, and I always appreciate the time he spends helping me work through things. He's a good man
He knows me very well and Is very truthful even when I’m denying those things.
Micheal has been very helpful in my particular situation. he has been very supportive, caring, patient and consistent. He is very knowledgeable and methodical in his approach to your issues. Would definitely recommend.
Michael is, by far, the most competent and caring therapist I have had. He is truly one of a kind.
Michael is a very kind man, helps me stick to subjects with my brain starts to unraveling and go in different directions.
Michael has a great personality and listens to your concerns with an open mind. I appreciate his insights on my struggles and how to move forward in a healthy manner. I always look forward to our conversations, they are always engaging and helpful.
