I've worked with Michael for over six years, and the work we've done together has deeply shaped who…read moreI am today. His therapeutic approach focuses on what lives beneath the surface, the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional experiences that influence how we think, feel, and relate. That focus has been truly life changing. Instead of only addressing symptoms, Michael helped me understand the deeper things shaping my emotions, relationships, and decisions. With honesty, skill, and great care, Michael has guided me in uncovering things I didn't even realize I was carrying; past trauma, internalized stories, and emotional blocks that had been influencing my life. What stands out most is how safe and thoughtful his process is. Nothing is ever rushed or forced. Insights emerge in their own time, allowing for real integration and lasting change, and not just temporary relief. Through this work, I've reconnected with a sense of potential that had been dormant for a long time. What truly sets Michael apart is not just his clinical expertise, but who he is as a person. He brings a grounded, intuitive, and deeply compassionate presence that makes exploring difficult things feel meaningful rather than overwhelming. I'm profoundly grateful for this therapeutic relationship and wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone seeking deep, transformative work that reaches the center of who they are.

This guy gives nothing more than weird vibes and bad advice and not a feel of someone who got a higher education. Look elsewhere.

Let me preface my review by saying I have no idea how Mr. Cope is as a one-on-one counselor and I…read moredo not intend my review to dissuade anyone from trying counseling here. This is only a review of my experience. I presented to Mr. Cope for a first-time-ever couples counseling session. We went to Mr. Cope because my significant other sees him. Huge mistake. The only thing I can compare the session to would be having couples counseling with one of my significant other's friends. Actually, I think my s.o's friends would make more of an attempt to be unbiased. Mr. Cope made no effort to get to know me, my perspective, where I was coming from, who i am, etc. He reiterated the frustrations that my s.o. had spoken about privately with him and asserted them not as my s.o's interpretations of what was going on but as fact, and ultimately came off like he was pointing the finger. That was neither constructive nor helpful- we went to therapy because we are already quite good at finger pointing on our own. Furthermore, Mr. Cope, without getting to know my personality, feeling me out, or anything else, made a number of unprofessional "jokes" that made me uncomfortable. I was surprised that someone who works in this profession would not realize the importance of connecting with a person and learning their personality before jumping into jokes that ride the line between acceptable and not. My s.o. and I followed his advice and took a full day to let us absorb what was said in session. We went on to have a lovely rest of the night but the next day, once everything was "absorbed", it was like a grenade was set off between my s.o. and I. We had to then wade through what were words put in our mouths during session versus what was actually the truth between us. We are in worse shape for having tried counseling here. This is not to say that Mr. Cope was completely wrong. Some of his advice was sound and on point. My point is that a lot of it wasn't helpful, wasn't correct about us as individuals or what we are like in our relationship, and much of the session was a lecture. It seemed to me that Mr. Cope was unable to be an unbiased participant in the session because he already knew a lot about my s.o's perspective. I will not be returning.

He also even suffered a recent relapse with drinking and rapidly pulled things together again. I cannot recommend Frank highly enough. He is a caring, charismatic and personable guy who really made a difference in our nephew's life. We are forever grateful.

He has helped me climb out of depression, fear and self loathing into a place where I have a clearer understanding of my present and a brighter vision of my future.

He's helped me shed my defensive layers to reveal my vulnerability and find strength that I didn't know I had. I'm a better man for the work we've done together - I know I couldn't have done it without him.

Great life and great career in finance, but I find that time management and trying to fit in too much into an already over committed schedule can be overwhelming. In comes Ryan. He has been terrific in helping me get through my own mental laundry and setting goals. What I love about Ryan is that he's flexible. It's not just about weight loss or "therapy" per se, it's really what is helpful to you. He is non judgmental while helping to direct you to your own conclusions and goals. I enjoy his encouragement and feedback, but at the end of the day, decisions are my own to make. Obviously finding counseling is a very personal decision and usually "word of mouth". But if you are looking for someone who cares and can assist with self improvement, I highly recommend Ryan!
