“Of the therapists I have had on betterhelp, Michelle is the best. She is always warm and respectful but also challenges me. She pays attention, she brings up past discussions and behaviors to help me aknowlege my patterns, tries different avenues to help me reflect on those. I feel She genuinely cares and wants me to succeed.”

“I have seen Michelle for therapy for over a year now, she gives great advice and guidance on things that I am struggling with and experiencing in life. She makes me feel very comfortable to share and look at things from many different angles and she has really helped me grow.”

“Working with Michelle to apply what I’ve explored in therapy has been instrumental in helping me navigate the many transitions I’ve experienced this year. She has consistently helped me view challenges from new perspectives, and the strategies she’s shared have supported meaningful personal growth. As a result, I feel more confident in how I approach obstacles, responding with greater balance and composure rather than panic.”

“So grateful to have connected with Michelle last year & now reconnected today. Feels like we didn’t miss a beat & she remembered so many little details about my life from a year ago.”

“Working with Michelle has been a helpful, consistent breath of fresh air. Her perspective, questions, understanding and care are greatly appreciated and have been very helpful as I try to navigate through several diffulties. She encourages me to grow and practice new skills, all without pressure, shame or impatience. It's been a very valuable experience and I appreciate Michelle tremendously”

“I had my first session with Michelle Schmidt recently, and I felt safe, seen, and encouraged. She has such a calm, kind, and compassionate presence that made it easy to open up right away. The way she listened and reflected back what I shared made me feel truly understood, even in just one session.<br /> <br /> Her words stuck with me, and they meant more than she probably knows. I walked away feeling lighter, hopeful, and supported. I can already tell she genuinely cares about her clients and is incredibly gifted at what she does. I’m really grateful I found her.”
