He's been really great! I feel he understands what I'm going through.
Keep being an awesome therapist and person!
Michael is honestly the best therapist I have ever had. I had decided to give therapy one more shot after a difficult situation, and I’m so, so glad I did. I don’t feel pressured to talk about things I’m not ready to talk about yet, but he makes a genuine effort to get me to talk about topics that are a little more difficult, and has helped me come up with ways to make progress.
