When I first met her I kind of felt alittle judgement. Because I explained what caused my depression and she had this look on her face almost like she was blaming me & if I’m remembering correctly she asked me why ? Like it somehow MY FAULT. I tried to ignore that because everybody is different and she might be Good despite that. I had one questions about side effects . No response to my inquiry. Her judgement was strike 1. Her lack of communication is strike 2 for me. Not for me.

Michelle was very thorough and allowed me ample opportunity to vocalize past and present issues. I certainly look forward to working with her in the future. I experienced an internet outage in our area towards the end of our conversation so I hope she will know I did not simply end our conversation abruptly.

I was looking for a clinician to assist me with my issues and I see I have found the right one. Michelle was straight to the point, professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, and caring.
