Michael is extremely straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. He does this in a personal and professional way. His availability is quite limited, but he is willing to work with you, within reason. I highly recommend him!

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Michael Letendre listens and absorbs, then when necessary interjects with his knowledge and understanding. I appreciate his calm and caring demeanor. Thank you
Easily the best therapist I’ve ever worked with. I was hesitant about restarting therapy, but Michael has made it so easy and welcoming for me.
I didn’t go into therapy with the goal of having my feelings validated. Michael was straight with me. He told me my feelings were absolutely valid and forced me to look at my relationship from a factual viewpoint instead of an emotional one. It was hard to do and I know I’ll be seeking more advice and input from Michael now that my wife and I will be starting marriage counseling.
Good at what he does
