Hello, my name is Michael Cundiff. I am a therapist with BetterHelp, and look forward to getting to know you. You have taken a bold first step by contacting BetterHelp, reflecting a strength and a good beginning.
I enjoy working with people and look forward to speaking with you. My background information is available on my profile along with hours and availability. Forty-five minute sessions seem to work best for most clients, but we can be flexible if you have different expectations. Video, email and chat are the virtual formats, and clients are encouraged to go at their own rate.
If you have questions, please ask, but feel free to do so should any come to mind later. I check for messages several times daily and try to respond as quickly as possible.
My counseling approach is essentially client-centered, which is to say relationship based, and it is my belief that client and counselor should work together in establishing goals and strategies for solutions. You may have some thoughts on this as well which we can process.
Looking forward to speaking with you.
Michael Cundiff

Dr. Cundiff is a great therapist. He is consistent and listens well, and he reviews notes from our discussions and does a great job of revisiting things he notices. He definitely makes you feel heard and helps navigate goals. I like that even if I don’t know what to say in the session he has a way of getting us going or reviewing pasts discussions. I highly recommend him.

I am pleased with my choice of therapist. I need a therapist with expertise and life experience. Dr. Cundiff does a great job of directing my therapy sessions to allow rooting concerns to come forth and be made present. He offers worksheets and materials to afford me extra time to process and work with new ideas on my own time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a well rounded, experienced, intelligent, and empathetic therapist.

Dr. Cundiff is an excellent therapist. First and foremost he listens carefully and generally reflects back his understanding of what I've reported to him so we're both on the same sheet of music so to speak. He absorbs what I've reported before providing recommendations.
