Michelle is an amazing therapist who has helped me to gain back control of my life that I once thought was never obtainable; so glad that I have been able to work with her!

I just want to say that Michelle is so kind and sweet and really genuinely caring. I’ve had therapist in the past, but I’ve never had therapist reach out to me even after the session Michelle has, in all the years I’ve had therapy. It means so much to me and honestly it’s just opening my mind and heart up more Healing. I also appreciate the educational tools you provide like the video. I am so impressed by your services and also by Michelle that even after my free sessions end, I want to continue services, and even pay out-of-pocket if I need to. Thank you so much!

I have not really seaked assistance from outside sources. I am so glad I have been given counseling from someone who listens and looks at the whole picture and not pieces. I am able to think clearer about my situations when given tools to obtain a new perspective.
