This is the personal communication I’ve needed. I was kind of too proud to try therapy. I didn’t want to believe that I couldn’t fix my problems on my own. Talking with Michael had been a great help to me because it makes me accountable for the decisions I make and he knows the right way to work on the issues I’m facing! It’s very good to talk to a knowledgeable professional instead of just trying to figure things out for my own. Michael is a good man and he cares for his patients. I would definitely recommend!

Michael is by far the best therapist I've ever had. Even though, I was a bit reserved with him in the beginning - I stuck with the therapy and it paid off.

I can hear actually still hear his suggestions in my mind and have found practical ways to incorporate his strategies into my life. He always was reassuring and forgiving even though I struggled to fulfill the tasks. But I think I can imagine that doing the worksheets he suggested would have been certainly helpful! That being said, as a good student, I took notes and tried my best to follow through.

Takeaways:
Mindfulness
Focused Breathing
Going to your 'happy place'
Making your environment as pleasurable as possible (especially for difficult tasks, conversations or situations)
ex. the 5 senses - nice smells, sounds, visuals
Lowering your expectations
Set goals of 3-5 tasks for a week (not 10 for every day)
Getting outside and away from distractions

Beyond this, I have really found that him to be a gentleman. Always professional, never condescending. This intelligent yet unpretentious quality is absolute gold.
I will return for his support in the near future, should I need it!

Michael was amazing. He gave me the skills I needed to manage my anxiety and enlightened me on other habits that I was struggling with that I wasn’t aware of. After my 4 sessions with Michael I feel I’m walking away with the tools I need to manage and improve my day to day anxieties. Thanks Michael!
