Michelle is an amazing listener and gives great advice. She is straight forward and helps to identify things about individuals that they may not be aware of personally. I’ve worked with her for 2 weeks now and she is really helping me to understand my process in my healing journey. I look forward to continue working with her. ♥️

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.

This is my first time hiring a therapist. Michelle makes the process comfortable. She does not force the conversation. She leads with simple questions which leads to natural conversation. I enjoy meeting with her every week. She has become a key part of my life and mental health. I have seen overall improvement in my anxiety and stress. I think about our conversations days after our sessions. Michelle is fantastic.
From the first therapy session, Michelle made me feel heard, understood and valued. Just like any medical care team you need to have people who listen and care. She established an immediate rapport and I felt ease with sharing issues. Michelle provided a foundation for trust inspiring me to continue to improve.
Michelle has been very helpful!
Michelle is very easy to talk to and open up with. She asks just the right number of questions to get a better understanding of a situation or topic before she responds. She provides worksheets and other resources to assist the client in working through a topic. She also gives homework and is willing to pray with you and over you if needed. I would recommend her to others.
Michelle is a very good listener and has a way of giving advice that makes me feel very receptive to her thoughts. I would strongly recommend Michelle, she is an excellent therapist!
Michelle pointed out issues that needed to be addressed at our first meeting which tells me that she was listening. I enjoyed talking to her She is an excellent therapist.
I have only had three sessions with Michelle but it only took one to realize that I found a counselor/therapist that could actually help me. I appreciate the way she guides our sessions and feel that her questions, while tough to answer at times, are excellent models for what I should be asking myself. Looking forward to growing more with her support.
I've only had 1 session and I already feel a little more hopeful.
