Micheal does his best to ask and understand my situation which allowed him to break down my thought patterns that were negatively impacting myself. This allowed me to reflect again on the habits that causes me to doubt myself.

Michael Lake was very helpful. I have experienced good therapists intermittently throughout the years, and Michael was just what I needed, when I needed him. I had short-term specific goals and we achieved those. I'm still a work in progress, so I may be return but for right now I need to soak in my progress and that feels good. I would recommend Michael.
