These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Locke. 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 wish words were enough to leave Michelle a review. She helped me get my life back. She was ALWAYS there to answer me and encourage me through whatever I was going through. At my darkest moments she always had hope and the exact words I needed to hear. Not once did I feel like I couldn’t come out of my depression, anxiety, trauma, ect. She became so much more than a therapist but a part of my life and a friend. My entire family is so thankful for her. Michelle is an amazing woman and God uses her through this. Again I say words will never be enough and anyone that is able to work with her is blessed
