These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Waters Tout. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Michelle listens very well. I think everyone struggles with feeling heard but those struggles are definitely put to rest speaking with Michelle. Not only will you feel heard but there’s a level of understanding she has where you might feel like you’re off your wagon but she has a way of getting you back in track. She checks in on you almost like she can sense you might be having a tough day. Her voice is also realllllly soothing to me personally. I’d say 10 across the board !

Been in therapy for over 15 years with various therapists and Michelle is the best I’ve ever experienced - our phone sessions and messaging helps making time for therapy much easier - her style is kind and straight to the point - shes integrates her wealth of knowledge of different modalities and also intertwines useful and relatable stories and analogies - I couldn’t ask for a better therapist - I’ve had more progress in my treatment in the last 12 weeks than I ever have and it’s thanks to the work Michelle and I are doing!

Michelle has a very calming voice and demeanor. This helped me relax until I was comfortable within my sessions. She definitely was helpful and helped me work through my issues.
