Michal is amazing. Just after one session, I already felt an improvement in myself. She listens attentively and makes me comfortable to talk about anything. She provides exactly what I need, which is structure. Every week, she gives me a relevant worksheet that helps me work through certain feelings and thoughts. She offers a variety of methods to use when I start feeling anxious or angry. She fosters continual improvement outside of the session, which I feel is sometimes hard to find in a therapist. I love that after a session, I feel better emotionally, physically, and mentally. And then, I use her advice and worksheets to carry that positivity into the rest of the week. I always look forward to our sessions.

I love Michal! She is the 11th therapist I have tried therapy with and I was very close to giving up, but 10 minutes into the first session I already knew she is the right one. I finish every session with her happy and high for a few hours, and I feel the progress also without the painful digging in the past and uncomfortable topics. The talks with her are so pleasant and her smile is contagious. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to do therapy with her.

Michal is an amazing listener. She's been great at going with my flow of conversation. When I've used humor to deal with things, she has reflected that back and it makes for a very comfortable conversation. Her advice echoes things I've read about in psychology research, and has been very useful and appropriate in the situation I was in.
