Michael brings many years of therapy experience to his clients and I have felt very listened to and supported by him. More so than any other therapist I have seen, Michael balances listening and reflecting my thoughts and feelings with providing advice and strategies depending on what I am going through and what we are working on. I value his perspective and it makes my internal and external life better.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
