Michael Tidstrand, LPCC

He's amazing. Really works with you, is compassionate, and very flexible. I need that in my schedule right now. Would very easily recommend him to my loved ones.

Michael is a great therapist because he is a great man overall. He’s attentive, soft spoken, and always has the best of intent. I feel humanized talking to him in way I’m not used to, as he always gives me the space to say what’s really bothering me without judgement. Once you speak with him, you’ll quickly realize he is one-of-a-kind.

Michael is very responsive and meets me where I’m at. He’s calm and helps me reframe my negative statements. I feel like I can have a productive conversation with him even when I don’t feel like talking that day.

Thank you Michael for your support and wisdom!

Michael is absolutely fantastic. He listens, provides valuable advice, and is able to provide useful tools to combat everyday personal issues. Michael is extremely friendly and welcoming. You feel like you could talk to him for hours on end. Additionally, Michael actively checks in to make sure everything is going ok from week to week, chiming in with additional advice and thoughts. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone considering using BetterHelp.

This is the most knowledgeable provider I’ve ever worked with. Additionally, he is kind, reliable, and vigilant when it comes to providing the best care for his client.

I’ve never done online therapy before so I was kind of skeptical of it. Having Michael as my therapist made me really enjoy the online therapy. He really takes the time to hear you out & replies throughly and quickly. In the little time I’ve been signed up so far, He has helped me understand and cope with a lot of my emotions that I’ve had upon me lately. So thank you.(:

Michael has really helped me reach the goals that I had set out for myself when I intially started therapy. During our sessions I always feel at ease and have plenty of time to talk and express myself. You can tell he is a very kind and empathetic person. He also takes time to answer even several times a day and reaches out to check in on you. In our messages that we have exchanged he always leaves me with a question and this method has really made it easy for me to think deeply about the situation I'm going through, finding a solution, and learning more about myself. I would recommend him to a friend :-)

Michael has been my therapist for quite some time now and I have found that he genuinely wants to understand what I struggle with and how he can help me process what it is I am going through. Being seen, understood, and heard is one of the main takeaways I get from being counseled by him and it makes all the difference in my journey.

Michael did a very good job with my depression and anxiety in a short amount of time. He was compassionate and open. In my case, we focused on developing a sense of responsibility for my emotional landscape and then my life more broadly. This was a very helpful perspective shift for me. We also reviewed ways ground my thoughts in more sober, reality-based assessments as opposed to being wildly jolted about by the feeling of the moment. These have produced great results for me and I highly recommend Michael.

I am thankful for the comfort Michael provides, he really meets you where you are at. Therapy can be very traumatic and uncomfortable and he avoids those experiences creating a place to just blabber if you need, answer questions and get to the bottom of issues.

Michael is very open and kind! He creates such a safe space and makes me feel heard and understood. I feel like he is genuinely on my team and by my side. I know he has all the best intentions for his clients and it shows! He’s the first therapist to respond more than once a day. And if you stop responding for a while, he checks up on you to make sure you’re okay. I absolutely love working with him and look forward to working with him more. Thank you Michael!!
