These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Wong. 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.
Michelle is an amazing listener and gives great advice. She is straight forward and helps to identify things about individuals that they may not be aware of personally. I’ve worked with her for 2 weeks now and she is really helping me to understand my process in my healing journey. I look forward to continue working with her. ♥️

This is my first time hiring a therapist. Michelle makes the process comfortable. She does not force the conversation. She leads with simple questions which leads to natural conversation. I enjoy meeting with her every week. She has become a key part of my life and mental health. I have seen overall improvement in my anxiety and stress. I think about our conversations days after our sessions. Michelle is fantastic.

Michelle is very easy to talk to and open up with. She asks just the right number of questions to get a better understanding of a situation or topic before she responds. She provides worksheets and other resources to assist the client in working through a topic. She also gives homework and is willing to pray with you and over you if needed.
I would recommend her to others.

From the first therapy session, Michelle made me feel heard, understood and valued. Just like any medical care team you need to have people who listen and care. She established an immediate rapport and I felt ease with sharing issues. Michelle provided a foundation for trust inspiring me to continue to improve.
