Michelle is a great person and an even better therapist! She helped me immensely via constant contribution to our sessions and a level of tact that is second to none. If I were able to use her where I'm moving to I would!

Very good first impression. She’s working really hard to connect and communicate with me and hasn’t even had an official session with me yet. I have a good feeling that all is going to go well. Thank you for being so kind!
