Michelle, listens and encourages. She doesn’t try to fix it but tries to encourage you to think about why you’re thinking a certain way. She helped me clear things up in my head and helped me walk through steps to simplify my day.

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.

So far it’s been a pleasure to work with Michelle. She is kind and compassionate and reminds me to be kind to myself which is a reminder I always need. She focuses on strength based therapy which helps remind me when I feel defeated.
Good therapist
Love working with Michelle so far
Michelle was extremely helpful and took the time to listen and ask appropriate questions during a difficult time. Her expertise shines through.
Super Patient and Helpful. Listens to me and is extremely helpful
I knew I would appreciate the convenience and privacy of in-home therapy via video, but I was prepared to need several attempts until I met someone I was comfortable talking to. I am grateful that I found Michelle in the very first therapist I was matched with - she is insightful, friendly, and a wonderful listener. I'm amazed at how quickly I was able to gel with her, and feel great about the progress I have made with her help.
