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.

Michael is very empathetic, encouraging, a great listener and has helped me a lot with my grief, depression and self-esteem in only a short amount of time. I really enjoy the thought provoking questions he asks as it really helps me reflect in ways that aren't easy to do on my own. You can really feel how much he cares. He will help you see and understand yourself in ways to help you heal.
