These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Sucro. 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.

Over 4 weeks I only managed to get one session and he didn't bother showing up to the second one.

I really enjoyed michael's approach in understanding where your emotions are originating from. It helped me become more introspective and gave me a better understanding of who i am. I have been able to regulate my emotions in a way that I haven't before. I would recommend michael to other people who want a more holistic approach to therapy.

Michael Sucro helped me process a couple of traumatic events during the pandemic and was extremely supportive and a good listener. He also helped me deal with my stress and anxieties without any judgement and knew how to help me have a clearer perspective on my issues. Thank you Michael for all of your help and support!

I've only had one session with Mike, but just from that one conversation he seems to be knowledgable, inviting, and understanding when it comes to dealing with the issues discussed. He has 40 years of experience and has worked in several different areas and fields throughout his career, so I'm confident that he's seen most situations before. He is also friendly and funny and doesn't make you feel like you have to be serious 100% of the time, just comforting and understanding.
