Beyond exceptional therapy thus far! Truly what a therapist is supposed to be while providing sessions that literally embody any and all great things therapy is supposed to represent.

Michele is amazing! She listens to me and challenges me to improve. She has more patience with me than I do myself when I'm not making the progress I hoped. Michele helps me build on what I've already achieved, and encourages me to keep going.
