I am thrilled to share my experience with Michelle, who has been an unwavering source of support and guidance during a challenging time in my life. I started seeing Michelle because I was overwhelmed with worry and guilt stemming from my ex-husband's severe addiction issues and concerns about his well-being following our separation. Michelle's compassionate approach and expertise creates a safe and non-judgmental space for me to process these complex emotions. With her guidance, I am able to explore various possible scenarios, ultimately empowering me to make decisions that alleviate my guilt and provide comfort, regardless of the uncertain future. What sets Michelle apart is her commitment to providing actionable solutions. After each session, I always leave with a concrete plan or a set of actionable next steps that make me feel more in control over the situations that weighed heavily on me. This empowers me to actively address my challenges and take charge of my emotional well-being. Michelle's ability to help me identify tangible actions has been a game-changer in my journey toward healing and self-empowerment. Furthermore, Michelle's expertise extends beyond my previous relationship. She skillfully guides me in navigating a new relationship, helping me uncover and understand how my upbringing and past experiences influence my biases and behaviors in this fresh context. Her insightful perspective sheds light on areas that required attention and allows me to make positive changes within myself and in my current relationship. One aspect I truly appreciate about Michelle is her willingness to play devil's advocate in a constructive manner. By encouraging me to consider how others in my life might perceive our interactions and conversations, she helps broaden my perspective and deepen my understanding of different viewpoints. This facilitates healthier relationships and improves communication in many areas of my life. In conclusion, Michelle's professionalism, empathy, and solution-oriented approach have had a profound impact on my personal growth and well-being. I am forever grateful for her unwavering support in helping me navigate through difficult emotions, gain clarity, and develop effective strategies for overcoming challenges. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle as a therapist to anyone seeking guidance and empowerment on their journey towards emotional well-being.

About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.
