Michelle’s responses, insight, and recommendations are always very forward thinking and realistic. Even if it’s “I totally hear what you’re saying. But one thing I thought of was while you were talking was… or what it we looked at it from this perspective…” helping hold up a no judgement but productive mirror.
"Michelle is a great active listener, empathetic, non judgmental, and responds like a real human and not a therapy robot."
Someone who will support you and cheer you on, but also call you out when you are getting in your own way. She has a way of really listening deeply and asking the right questions at the right time. Therapists aren’t mind-readers, but Michelle is about as close as you can get. She is smart and intuitive and really dedicated to her clients.
"Michelle is like the wise best friend you wish you had."
Michelle seems to get to the point without all the skirting around. Michelle can smell bullshit pretty quickly and really gets to the root of people.
"What I appreciate in a therapist is someone direct, not awkward or shy with me, and honest."
She gives good insight and it's refreshing to hear a different perspective when I can't get out of my own headspace of stubbornness. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.
"When I talk with Michelle, I feel empowered and supported."
She is both professional and warm, she listens intently and gives you a wealth of knowledge that you can take and use in your life. She makes you feel empowered to make positive change. I highly recommend her, for anyone who is seeking help.
"Michelle has the gift of a true healer."
