I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Arizona with over 12 years of experience working as a peer support and counselor/therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addictions, gambling disorder and self esteem . I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, and accelerated resolution therapy.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maureen Michael. 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 have had 3 sessions so far with Maureen, and each time we end them, I feel refreshed and optimistic for the new days to come. I am looking forward to this continued journey of learning coping skills with the help and professionalism of Maureen.
