Mike is a great therapist! He’s not the kind that just listens and nods… he provides useful advice and insight to real life situations and then sets a plan of action! Something very useful for someone with ADHD!
Best therapist I’ve had in a long line over many years!

Micheal Kegel is one of the best therapists I have had yet on better help. He listens to what I have to say. And will give me the tools and knowledge to help me complete my day to day tasks. I would recommend Michael to anyone who is in need of bettering themselves.

Michael makes you feel accountable for doing the real work throughout the week before the therapy session begins. He’s more like a coach with helping you set and achieve practical goals.

Listens carefully and responds in a professional manner.
Written on Oct 23, 2023 after therapy with Michael for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions
My first session with Michael was very telling. I could hear his experience with the way he worked a question and sub questions and how he was able to draw conclusions without me saying them. As a busy mom of young children, a household and work, I truly appreciate not having to spell out every detail of every situation. Michael is comfortable knowing when to jump in with an assumption of what happened next and when to step back and let me talk.
