These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Rooney. 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.
Although I only worked with this therapist for a short time, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, insightful, and direct in a way that was both helpful and motivating. In just a couple of weeks, I feel like I made significant progress and gained valuable perspective on issues I had been struggling with for a long time.
He challenged me to move beyond simply talking about problems and focus on what I was actually going to do about them. His approach encouraged accountability while still feeling supportive and practical. I appreciated his ability to ask meaningful questions, provide useful feedback, and help me identify concrete steps toward growth. I am grateful for the time we worked together and would recommend him to others seeking a therapist who is knowledgeable, honest, and focused on real progress.
