Unfortunately, our experience with this therapist was disappointing and, at times, counterproductive. We found ourselves revisiting the same issues session after session without any meaningful tools or progress. We rarely left feeling optimistic, and over time, it felt like we were simply spinning our wheels rather than moving forward.It also felt unethical to receive a request for a review while we were still actively in therapy and unsure of the results. That kind of pressure felt premature and inappropriate.The rates charged are also significantly higher than those of other, more experienced therapists in the area—yet the quality of care didn’t reflect that.While this therapist has clearly mastered targeted marketing and search engine visibility, we hope this feedback encourages a shift toward prioritizing clinical growth and client outcomes, rather than relying so heavily on being the first result on Google.

Mike's a nice guy, but very expensive and never checked in on us after we stopped seeing him. I thought for the price and situation he knew about he would atleast text us to check in. Less

After 6 months working with Mike, I can honestly say that I’ve learned real, transformative skills that have allowed my relationship to grow. Mike has helped me develop crucial skills like truly listening to understand my partner's feelings rather than rushing to defend myself. I've also learned to recognize and communicate feelings of disconnection openly, which has created much deeper intimacy between my partner and I. Counseling has provided a safe, non-judgmental space where we could both work on improving ourselves. Highly recommend for any couple wanting to build a healthier, more understanding relationship.

Working with Mike has been life changing for myself and my relationship. I have been heavily involved in individual therapy in the past but couple’s counseling has helped me learn more about myself than I ever anticipated. I would HIGHLY recommend taking the leap if you are considering. Mike is very knowledgable and gives practical solutions and advice for all areas of your life. This experience has been unlike any therapy I have participated in before in all the best ways. We have worked heavily on trust and communication, as those were areas we needed to focus on, but there is so much benefit to the Gottman method for any areas in which your relationship may need support.

My husband and I have only recently started seeing Mike, but he has already been so helpful to us, particularly to me (I’ve had several sessions with Mike on my own). Mike is very good at what he does, and I’m extremely picky when it comes to therapists. He has a very calm and caring manner, and he’s very good at helping me to understand things that I can do to make conflicts easier to resolve without downward spiraling. Having seen other therapists and even another couple’s counselor previously, what I like about Mike’s approach is that he actually has a system to help couples communicate better, with core principles that he teaches you during your sessions and homework modules to work on in between sessions. Having had the experience with other therapists of going to a session, talking about whatever fight or issues happened, and then going home to not make any progress in between sessions, I think that Mike’s more structured approach to couples counseling is what we need is what will ultimately make the difference in our marriage. If you’re someone reading this who is on the fence about Mike, go see him for a session - You’ll be glad you did. Less

Start:Very responsive and as easy as a text message conversation! I will update this review as we go but are hopeful this 12 weeks will help as we work with Mike.Update 11 weeks:We have had 11 sessions with Mike and there is no way to explain how great it has been.For those worried about the money: it is the best money we have spent. Better than dates, weekend trips, etc.For those worried about time: you can dictate how often, he offers online tools to help between sessions.We started out by seeing Mike weekly, then we slowed it down to bi weekly to give us more time for “homework”. It worked well for us and we have seen much growth in ourselves and our marriage.Mike drives the conversation, asks questions, gets you talking, and offers information to help you heal, grow, and be better.The only thing we regret is not starting sooner with Mike!Update: 1 year- we worked with Mike for 12 weeks a year ago.Mike’s tools have not only saved and grown our relationship, but have helped in many other areas of our lives. We continue to use tools from his program and discussions such as a recommended game and gottman. I have even shared our journey and these tools with a sibling on the west coast and they are using the tools as they search for someone with similar structure to Mike for specific guidance. He was more helpful for my personal mental health than any 1:1 talk therapy gave me and we were seeing him for our relationship. Thanks again Mike! Less

Mike is an absolutely wonderful therapist and human being. He is extremely easy to talk with and has so much knowledge. Every session his insight and guidance is spot on. He truly understands the struggles and wants to help. If you are looking for an awesome therapist and human, I highly recommend Mike! Less
