Michael has been so great to work with. I didn’t know what to expect with therapy for the first time, but he’s made the process welcoming and productive. He is very approachable and respectful, while still challenging and pushing me to improve my mental health and wellbeing in ways that have shown good results. I’m grateful for the experience working with him.

Michael is a great therapist. He helped me overcome my porn addiction by giving me practical solutions and tools to put into practice. I've now been porn free for 3 months. He's attentive and responds to journals and messages in a timely fashion. 10/10

Mike is easily the best therapist I’ve ever had. I feel like we could be friends. His responses are never too preachy or too “hands off”. He’s a good balance for the way my brain works, and always seems to have something to say that changes how I see things.

I have only talked with Michael a few times but I look forward to speaking with him weekly. I love that he listens and gives feedback instead of just sitting there and not saying anything. He challenges me and makes me challenge myself as well. His techniques help me as well.

Michael has been nothing but amazing. He is always there when I need him. He understands my anxiety and doesn’t push me into anything. I cope a lot with jokes and he understands that too! This is my first ever therapist I’ve had and I can not recommend him enough to anyone! Also he loves cats!

I’ve been working with Mike for about a year and he is great. I was unsure at first working with a male therapist but he is extremely at his job and I feel like he has helped me cope with some of the trauma from my past but gave me techniques to deal with future situations and challenges. He always gives advice without judgement and he has helped me through so much. I went from having extreme panic attacks and depression and with the help of him and a diet/exercise change I have been able to take control of my mental health. I highly highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a therapist. He also is very accommodating with my schedule even though we are across the country.

Mike is great! Very down to earth with a remarkably disarming personality. His open approach and conversation style make it very easy to talk with him. I also find his method very useful: It's a "gathering data" through experience method which gets directly to the point. I appreciate that very much, and I recommend Mike quite highly.
