Michael is a wonderful therapist, absolutely the best I’ve had to date. Helps me navigate the whirlwind of my life and really helps me process my feelings. Speaks from the heart and allows me to vent when I need. I couldn’t have made it through this chapter of my life without him.

Michael is a wonderful therapist. I've been through a few on this platform and he is by far the best and most experienced. He is kind, considerate, attentive and sincerely cares. He has significantly helped me during a difficult time. I genuinely look forward to our sessions. Better Help is lucky to have him on their roster of therapists.

Michael has been a wonderful person to speak with. He listens, and allows you to talk about anything you feel has brought you there.
