It was very nice to meet Michelle on my first session. She was on time, attentive and I felt like she asked the right questions to help me with understanding myself better. I look forward to working with her.

Michelle is wonderful and I am so blessed that I was paired with her. Would not want it any other way.

The best therapist I've had. She's honest, tells it as it is while being compassionate, and gives me work to do and helps me reach deep inside of my thoughts and feelings and checks up on me via messages on the app. Honestly, I had given up on therapy until I met her!
