These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Schmidt. 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.
I had my first session with Michelle Schmidt recently, and I felt safe, seen, and encouraged. She has such a calm, kind, and compassionate presence that made it easy to open up right away. The way she listened and reflected back what I shared made me feel truly understood, even in just one session.
Her words stuck with me, and they meant more than she probably knows. I walked away feeling lighter, hopeful, and supported. I can already tell she genuinely cares about her clients and is incredibly gifted at what she does. I’m really grateful I found her.

I came to Michelle with a need to understand if my lens of the world was appropriate or if there were adjustments needed. If the lens was correct, then how should I think about some of these things. I think we've made progress on this and I've grown in confidence that my view while isnt perfect, is reliable and I can better rationalize feedback and know where I can set boundaries.
