Michele helped me reopen the wounds in a gentle and holding way and helped them heal and close in a healthier and safer way. Through her use of EMDR, holding a safe and nonjudgemental space, and her wonderful personality, I was not only able to heal and survive, but able to thrive and accomplish life goals I never thought I'd be able to do. I cannot recommend her enough. I worked with her for years, and she saw me through so many life stages, and I have an entire toolbox of coping skills and ways to set boundaries now that I never had before. If you're thinking about booking with her, do it!

Michele Sherman is an incredible human and therapist, and I highly recommend her for talk therapy…read moreand EMDR. Michele is very empathetic and an incredible listener. She not only takes in and remembers what you share, but she is able to see the bigger picture of where you are and what you're experiencing. I found this to be very helpful because sometimes when your brain feels all over the place, having someone who can unravel the string to reflect where you're at can be so validating and helpful. Her style of therapy, along with EMDR, felt solution-based, which worked well for me. She'd ask if I wanted to talk or do EMDR, and regardless of which I chose, it felt like during each session we were able to focus on a specific challenge or wound and do healing work to understand where the pain was stemming from. I've had many therapists, and Michele is by far my favorite. I felt huge shifts and growth from my time working with her. It was noticeable in every aspect of my life. In other therapy sessions I've left feeling confused, like I didn't know what I'd accomplished. With Michele, I always knew what we were addressing during the session and it felt applicable to my life and healing. I highly recommend Michele, especially if you feel like you aren't getting anywhere with your current therapist, want to try EMDR (it's really incredible, but also tough), or are looking for a therapist who truly sees who you are.

I couldn't even go to the first session because I completely broke down just looking at her mind map over the phone. Just sobbing. Emotionally exhausted from suppressing years of childhood trauma and domestic violence, she gently took me through her methods and I quit drinking and smoking effortlessly. I have now returned to her this month to finish what we started. I have new awareness to my patterns that she literally insightfully gave me another breakthrough with one sentence. Processing and diving into her mind map gives your brain the ability to go where it needs to go. After over a decade of therapists, only Dr. Judy has been able to cut through the BS and guide me on my way.

We felt lost, exhausted, and terrified for him. We had nowhere to go and no idea what to do next. Angela stepped in with availability, empathy, and a solution-focused approach that quite honestly held our entire family together. She helped us create a path forward when we couldn't see one. She understood that as parents, we needed to exhaust every possible option before making the harder decisions. Our hearts were broken, and we struggled to let go, and she honored that. She moved at the pace of our emotions while always keeping our son's safety at the center of every decision. She never shamed us, never rushed us, and never dismissed how painful the process was. Instead, she balanced compassion with clarity in a way that allowed us to move forward when we were finally ready. She held our hands and hearts through the entire process. We are still a work in progress as a family, but we are stronger and wiser now. We better understand how to support our son without interrupting his growth process. Today, he is mentally stable, safe, and moving into the next phase of his recovery journey, something we once feared might never happen. We wholeheartedly recommend Brass Tacks, Angela, and Sarah to any family with a loved one struggling with mental health challenges. Their compassion, steadiness, and expertise make an impossible situation feel survivable, and eventually, hopeful.

If only I could give negative stars. My experience with Brass Tacks and its owner, Angela, was…read moredeeply disappointing and something I feel obligated to warn others about. I paid a $7,650 upfront deposit as instructed in order to coordinate an intervention for my mom - something I was told needed to happen "immediately" because she was at her rock bottom. After several emotional phone calls, I trusted Angela's guidance and moved forward. Ultimately, the intervention never happened because my mom wasn't ready. What made the situation worse was the complete lack of follow-up, support, or any offer of a partial refund, despite the fact that nothing was ever carried out. At the time, I was 26 years old, paying out of my own savings, trying desperately to help my mother. Instead of feeling supported, I was left feeling taken advantage of, financially and emotionally. I understand that not every situation goes as planned, but the absence of integrity, communication, and accountability in this process was devastating. I would strongly caution anyone considering working with this company. I hope you enjoyed a free $7,650 to your bank account, Angela. 5 years later I cannot get over the money you stole from me. Shame on you.
