Michael is a great counselor. I have been in therapy for about 10 years now and never found a therapist that gave me what I needed. Michael gets down to the science of the brain and explains how it works and why I feel the way I do. That was always my biggest question...why...why do I feel like this. He gives me a more clear understanding as to why and how my brain works and instead of just talking about my feelings, we talk about solutions and how to train my brain so I can have a happier more fulfilled life. He is genuine and caring and I felt 150% comfortable talking with him before the end of our first session. I truly look forward to our session every week and wish I could have more than one session with him a week. I finally found the counselor that I've been searching for, he gives me hope for the future to come.

Michael has been wonderful!!! He listens to me and has helped me discover a lot of things about myself. He does a great job at prompting me.
