I would highly recommend Michelle. She’s highly responsive, thoughtful and listens carefully and tailors her approach to support my 14 year old son. She’s able to really connect with him and get him to open up with the areas where he wants help. This is a unique skill that Michelle brings which I greatly appreciate. She’s also been invaluable supporting me through this process as well.

Michelle is so kind and welcoming. She did a great job at building rapport with my son, she compassionately listened to him, and gave much needed reassurance. We were offered lots of excellent resources to help with anxiety. A great experience, I would highly recommend!
