After a couple of sessions with this therapist I felt that my anxiety was getting worse every time I was scheduled to meet her . I discussed this with my daughter and she said mom rely on your faith and find a faith based therapist. I prayed and prayed on it and finally found Damale at Forerunner. I cannot express the gratitude that I have for her for helping me thru this difficult time in my life . She prayed with me before and after my sessions - she provided me with scriptures to refer to in the Bible and techniques on how to cope when I was having my anxiety. After a couple is sessions I was finally able to get off my daily medication to deal with the anxiety. I thank God first but mostly for giving Damale the foresight to help me navigate through that difficult time .

So it was a…read morevery smart move of the owner of this practice to put a sign in the front of this office location. I remembered driving by and being attracted to it. They also popped up on Psychology Today. Anyway, I really liked the therapist that I worked with there. She was spot on with many things. The environment is slightly different compared to traditional therapy rooms. I really like it there, and will be going there to receive treatment.

Here's the thing: You hope that therapists are all empathetic, kind, and ethical. You expect them…read moreto be - after all, they're in the helping profession. But people enter these professions for different reasons, and having seen my share of truly crazy (no non-PC pun intended) therapists, Dr. Michelson is a diamond in the rough. She is truly patient-centered - no talking down, no dismissive advice - talking to her is like having a conversation with a trusted friend who really cares about your well-being. So while she is supportive, she will do the right thing and push you to think about areas of your life differently. She focuses on teaching skills in a way that anyone can understand and apply to his/her own life. Add a doctoral training and Dr. Michelson is someone that I trust to not just be a good therapist but a good DOCTOR. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know.

I feel as though I can open up to her and be myself without her passing any judgement. I feel safe in her company and I felt that she really listened to me and took time to work with me on my issues.

I looked very carefully and found Ms. Natalya Meyerson for psychiatric medication management and therapy. She is above and beyond my expectations. She has been published and mentioned several times in Psychiatry and Psycology Today. She is available in person ( my first session ) and conveniently on zoom through video ( follow- up sessions ) . She is empathetic towards her patients , very professional, extremely educated, trustworthy, confidential and readily available for psychiatric medication management. It took me quite some time to find her. I'm very pleased with her services and admire her as my practitioner and provider. I went through quite a large amount of providers through zocdoc until I selected care with Ms. Natalya Meyerson. I'm very fortunate and grateful. Basically to sum it up " No right treatment is right for everyone in psychiatric and psychology but this provider Ms. Natalya Meyerson's care is 100% accurate" in my opinion!
