I have only had a a few sessions with Michael, so far he has shown me more than the last 2 therapist that I have had in the past. He knows what I need at every session so far and has been very patient and understanding. I would recommend Michael for anyone that needs someone that will be truthful, and honest but do it kindly!

Michael listens, understands, and cuts to the chase. He'll give it to you straight, tell you what you need to hear, as opposed to what you WANT to hear, such as when you're making excuses. But he's tactful and nice about it.
He's the most practical therapist I've used on this site.
