These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Strangstalien. 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.
I've tried online therapy twice before and was very skeptical of trying it again. Michael is both approachable and professional- he is kind, but direct. I appreciate his more scientific approach and I love that he is always happy to cite his sources and explain the reasoning behind his suggestions. Michael is truly an expert in his field and I am very happy to have found him!

Michael has been great from day one. Although we still have work to do, I feel confident that Michael will help me navigate it all with my best interest in mind. Micheal has a very effective and gentle way of disarming me in my worst of times. He truly feels like a friend who can really give an objective point of view. I look forward to making new discoveries about myself with the help of Micheal.

Mr Strangstalien is a superb practitioner. He is the first counselor who has supported me as an individual. He is smart, compassionate and a great listener. I am extremely happy to have found him!
