Testimonials
” I’ve never been to therapy before, so it was a little nerve wracking at first. Even though opening up to a complete stranger is kind of the point with therapy, it still was awkward. I was a little nervous about having a male therapist as my experience with men throughout my life has not been the best, but Michael [Beach] has been very patient with me and has been helping me work through my discomforts over the last almost six months. I’m grateful to have him as my therapist.”
