“Micheal Woosley uses a variety of approaches to help me over the year I have been seeing him. His vast life experiences help to break through the noise and connect with me and sure other patients. He makes strong efforts to understand my issues and personal life story behind them. <br /> I highly recommend Mr. Woosley!”

“I was originally nervous about Brett because he’s older and I’m in my 20’s. I thought he would be judgmental or just not be able to understand me. So our very first session I tested him, I talk about a variety of things including intimate and personal topics. After that first session and from now having had multiple sessions with Brett, I can honestly say he is amazing. He has never failed to make me feel comfortable and accepted about anything I’ve talked about. He can relate to and understand a variety age groups and life stages, and he can challenge you while still maintaining a friendship attitude. Plus he provides a flexible schedule, especially if you need evening or night appointments. I genuinely feel like Brett cares about me, I’m not just a patient. So if you are considering Brett for your therapist, I highly recommend you give him a chance!”

“Michael Woosley is very beneficial to have as a therapist, acknowledging and understanding my needs and always giving me proper resources and exercises to better my condition and myself as a person. Highly recommend”

“Michael Woosley probably saved my life. I now truly believe I can beat my addiction. He offered me so many different routes and options on how to beat my addiction. He’s open minded and an excellent listener. He also would call me out on my bullshit which I greatly appreciated. He would point out to me when I was displaying impulsive behavior just in our conversations. I think of him as family. He’s been my only therapist and he’s the only therapist I want. He is also a damn cool guy. I love this man”
