He's extremely patient, takes the time to really listen, and is thoughtful in how he responds to your needs rather than rushing the process. I came into therapy knowing I had a lot of healing to do, and Michael met me exactly where I was. His calm presence and genuine care made it easier to open up and work through things at my own pace. Each session felt intentional, supportive, and grounding. If you're looking for a therapist who truly listens, respects your journey, and supports real healing, I highly recommend Michael.

After investing…read moretime with him I can say with 100% certainty that he deserves every amazing compliment given to him. I've been to highly regarded therapists who spread out meetings for months, consuming unnecessary time and investment. His superpower is that he epitomized complete altruism with laser sharp discernment and focused attention that facilitated deep healing of emotional wounds so buried I didn't even know they existed. He also leaves the door open for further growth and healing without feeling locked into a contractual relationship. Honestly he should patent his Method for all coaches to follow! I give him the highest possible rating and encourage others to not hesitate reaching out to him.

Being able to openly discuss my faith and relationship with the Lord with Kaila has been very refreshing. While being able to speak with a pastor is a good thing, and speaking to family is also good, being able to speak to someone who is entirely removed from my life about my various struggles in my walk with Christ has been massively helpful and challenging. On another note, being able to speak with her about the challenges of fatherhood and being a husband, and receiving both validation as well as questions meant to challenge my perceptions has helped me grow as both a father and husband. The Lord is certainly using Kaila where she is, and having her as a counselor is truly a blessing.

I highly recommend Samira as a therapist. I have had personal experience as an adult with Samira. I…read morealso know of several children (elementary and middle school aged) who have seen Samira for therapy. Speaking from my own experience, Samira is so friendly. Her kindness is matched with her compassion. I know this because I felt instantly connected when I first met Samira. I'm not someone who opens up easily, and I am especially guarded when it comes to personal things and trauma. I used to believe that therapy won't work for me. I think how therapists are often portrayed on television made me think negatively about the way therapy works. I really think it depends on the therapist. Samira really listens without judgment. She is not pushy with any sort of agenda. It feels effortless to talk to her. I honestly feel that she is with me and she has my back. I'm telling you, she truly is amazing, and I am so thankful to have met her. Samira is also great with kids! I can not believe how she is also skilled in working with children as well as working with adults! She uses a variety of tools when working with children. I do not know the names or methods because I'm not a therapist myself, but one of the ways is play therapy! I know this because one of my friend's children sees Samira as well, and her daughter adores her! She claims that seeing Samira is something she looks forward to every week! If you're looking for a therapist who is caring, intuitive, easy to talk to, and genuine, look no further! Samira is your girl!

She very quickly saw what was going on between us, and we both felt relief that someone got it and could help.

But anyway, why is this guy leaving another review? During my 1st round of sessions, Sheva helped me deal with my HOCD. This 2nd round, she helped me deal with my "regular" OCD. Life has never been better. And it's all thanks to her and her organization. See, I knew what I needed to "fix". But I needed help doing it. It's like getting a personal trainer, an accountant, a contractor, etc. Could you do it yourself? Sure. But having an experienced, professional helping hand is usually going to be smoother. I wasn't sure I wanted to disclose what exactly I was getting help with. But if someone out there somehow lands on here and is experiencing the same thing (HOCD - which is probably a little more unknown as a term), then it might be worth it. You can self medicate, numb the pain, or do any other number of things with the money you'd spend here. But it won't be worth it. I would even say the value I've gotten from my sessions and their lasting impact on my life is worth more than what I actually paid in total (and I definitely felt the pain in my wallet *while* doing sessions here).
