I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 7 years of coubseling experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I also have experience working with depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
In the field since 2017, I primarily utilize existential and solution focused therapies to assist clients in resolving and managing issues in their lives. I have a diverse background, working with those suffering from severe and pervasive mental health, substance use disorders, vocational problems, family dysfunction, and educational needs. Previously, I spent 5 years as a teacher in Pennsylvania and Arizona and am more than equipped to help you acquire the skills necessary to face whatever is in front of you.
I believe you are the expert of your own life and, by listening and understanding your experience, I can serve as a resource and objective perspective. I also have previous experience as a Certified Personal Trainer (through the NSCA) and as a Master Trainer (LA Fitness). I subscribe to the direct connection between mental wellness and physical health and promote working towards establishing a healthy balance in your life.
If you are looking for someone that is kind and caring but can also be firm and direct, please allow me to assist and challenge you to find authenticity in your genuine self.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Kroner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Has been extremely helpful.
