These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Mudgett. 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.
Michael has been extremely helpful in guiding me towards recovery from trauma. It has been a very short space of time and I feel a lot more confident and positive, he is very empathetic, he does not just seem like a councillor, it is like having a trusted friend to talk to, I have always thought having good friends is the best therapy, and it shows through his approach to his work,I was always concerned that some therapist might take a more logical analytical approach, which he does but it does not make me feel like a "patient" which I think is extremely beneficial in recovering from traumatic situations, I highly recommend Michael to anyone suffering or in need of guidance. It has built my confidence in using my own resources to recover, not only relying upon a therapist :)

He's really nice and he listens to everything you have to say while making a professional decision. He truly knows his stuff. He made me glad that I came to betterhelp.

I came here after my therapist of 10 years suddenly passed away. I had a strong bond with him. Mike has helped me out by getting me thru my grieving process as well as taking over for my old therapist. He is kind and very caring. He responds fairly quickly as well.
