These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Dykes. 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.
Ultimately I'm looking for some pretty deep help on old traumas. Michael is very good at ongoing regular advice and reframing of circumstances to calm down stress. I appreciate it. It's not why I came to Betterhelp but I do look forward to his listening ear and his way of reflecting back what he thinks with informed advice and healthy professional perspectives. When i forget to schedule he reaches out to see how I am. I appreciate that. I have realized that I have ongoing issues and patterns and being able to communicate those with him has been very helpful through a few different recent challenges.

This was my first experience with therapy, and honestly I was a little nervous. Michael did an amazing job at easing my nerves and helping me talk through my issues. I have a whole new look on therapy and just getting help now thanks to him. Michael is so professional and easy to talk to and one of the best listeners I have ever encountered!
