Michael brings many years of therapy experience to his clients and I have felt very listened to and supported by him. More so than any other therapist I have seen, Michael balances listening and reflecting my thoughts and feelings with providing advice and strategies depending on what I am going through and what we are working on. I value his perspective and it makes my internal and external life better.
