These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Strangstalien. 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.
I truly appreciate and value that Michael showed up prepared, with a studied understanding of what I needed in my short-term. I asked for tools, he started providing tools immediately. What surprised me was his deep compassion, how relatable he was, and how focused he stayed to what I had expressed mattered most to me. That's listening and responding as a care giver, at its best.

He is very helpful at working with me on what I need to work through. He gives a lot of information and work sheets on different things. If you are willing to take in all the information and use it it is very helpful. He is also great at listening and giving feedback.
