I started to see Michele for addictions therapy a few years ago, having failed to stop drinking numerous times before. And here I am now 3 ½ years sober. Michele was absolutely instrumental in helping me to understand myself, often challenging but also comforting – helping me navigate my way through a particularly difficult time. The level of trust I built with Michele – almost instantly – was of upmost importance and her deep understanding and encouragement – without being overpowering – was incredibly helpful in getting me back on track.
We also started couples therapy and even extended this to the children – with Michele's guidance – helping us all understand and find our way through the families' new normal.
We all learn and carry snippets with us of things that we have learned and helpful things people have said – but some notes I carry from Michele are absolute gems that I cherish and carry everywhere.
I have had numerous different therapists over the years – and it is very true that it is the connection that counts – none have made me feel more comfortable, confident and empowered as Michele has.
