My first appointment with Michelle convinced me that this time it was going to be different and it has been. As the other reviewer said, she is present, relevant and challenging.

It's not a quick journey, and there have been some detours, but with Michelle's patient and trustworthy guidance, I know I will continue to identify and dismantle the self defeating attitudes, perceptions and habits and learn to live in the present, appreciating each day to the fullest. And to the previous reviewer: Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience with Michelle. It was your review that prompted me to take one more chance on seeking help. I owe you a debt of thanks.

I wish I could give her more that 5 stars !!!!!
