Michelle is great. She always listens and offers great feedback. The additional work she has me do outside of our sessions is a great supplement and has been very helpful. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and am very happy Betterhelp matched me up with her.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Extremely helpful and patient
I have loved my therapist. I came to her during a very hard time in my life and she has been nothing but graceful and supportive.
Great demeanor and in-depth awareness of issues discussed, related issues, treatments, and methods to improve communication. Very professional and calming presence.
I've only had a handful of sessions with Michelle, but I feel like I've known her forever. She is everything I was looking for in a therapist - knowledgeable, open, intuitive and gives great feedback. I finally feel like I'm on a clear path in my healing journey, with her help and guidance I'm headed in the right direction!
