Great listener and provides constructive feedback and suggestions to help me progress with my journey.

Michael is one of the best therapists I've ever worked with. He asks very insightful questions and his guidance has been instrumental in my journey to improving my mental health. Michael introduced me to mindfulness and has provided a variety of tools and concepts to help me manage my depression and anxiety - my quality of life has significantly improved.

It's my first time going through therapy and I'm enjoying it so far. Michael has been very helpful in this new journey and phase of my life. I hope for more good to come. Thank you for your time Michael. Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Michael. Very proactive and thoughtful therapist.

I love how interactive Michael is with me, he listen to everything I have to say and gives me so much advice in how ti deal with my problems and how dig deep with my inner self

Michael was very responsive and helpful when I needed him. I appreciated that he listened and took to the time to check in if I wasn't checking in with him. Great therapist and very understanding and helpful

He's amazing. Really works with you, is compassionate, and very flexible. I need that in my schedule right now. Would very easily recommend him to my loved ones.

I've had several therapists over the years and Michael is simply one of the very best. He is insightful and quickly makes sense of the firehose of information that I tell him about my life. I feel I have more tools thanks to Michael and he helps me see the world and myself in new ways.

Michael is a great therapist because he is a great man overall. He’s attentive, soft spoken, and always has the best of intent. I feel humanized talking to him in way I’m not used to, as he always gives me the space to say what’s really bothering me without judgement. Once you speak with him, you’ll quickly realize he is one-of-a-kind.

Michael has been such an amazing guidance for me in the troubled points of my life. He is very genuine, kind and gentle. His open mindedness is refreshing and I never feel like I can’t say something to him. He’s almost like a friend that you can share deep secrets with and he’s likely one of the best therapists on BetterHelp. I just admire him so much!

Michael is very responsive and meets me where I’m at. He’s calm and helps me reframe my negative statements. I feel like I can have a productive conversation with him even when I don’t feel like talking that day.

He's amazing. Attentive, knowledgeable, empathetic and goes at my pace

Great!

I am so glad. Going on two years of time with him, has absolutely been support when I’m feeling great and when I need help.

Michael is a very caring and attentive therapist. I’m truly grateful for his support.

I feel incredibly comfortable talking with Michael. He has truly created a safe space for me to explore all issues coming up. I am very grateful to have connected with him - he provides super valuable insight and I always feel he genuinely cares, which has been difficult for me to find with previous therapists. Thank you Michael for your support and wisdom!

Not talked much I have a a busy traveling life style But so far very help ful with support And checking in It'sy fault I have not used Michael enough

He is so thoughtful and intentional. Really caters our sessions around my needs and is really patient and non-judge mental if I have work conflicts or have to cancel last minute. Has it really developed a wonderful therapeutic relationship. I initially came to him under significant stress and needed support working through a hard time. And even though that moment has passed and I’m feeling really good at the time I still want to keep this relationship going. I value the insight he offers

Michael listens to everything I say and honestly has helped me change my life. He's a very good listener.

Very thankful for Michael

Michael is absolutely fantastic. He listens, provides valuable advice, and is able to provide useful tools to combat everyday personal issues. Michael is extremely friendly and welcoming. You feel like you could talk to him for hours on end. Additionally, Michael actively checks in to make sure everything is going ok from week to week, chiming in with additional advice and thoughts. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone considering using BetterHelp.

Michael is great he always make me challenge myself and gives me a positive re enforcement. He also replies on a timely matter and makes me feel comfortable and it’s easy to open up to him.

This is the most knowledgeable provider I’ve ever worked with. Additionally, he is kind, reliable, and vigilant when it comes to providing the best care for his client.

I’ve been working with him very closely for six months and I love him. He listens to me, he’s funny and he’s respectful. Gives me space to come undone and doesn’t do any work for me. He’s all about helping you figure out the answers while he nudges you in the right direction. And honestly that may not even be accurate. Because I don’t feel him nudging or pushing in anyway. It’s really just giving me space to be. And have a constantly listening ear. I was actually apprehensive at first about how frequently our communication would be through text messaging. Video messages on average happen weekly. And when I first came to the site I felt I needed therapy so much more frequently. But I highly underestimated how therapeutic it is just to type out or talk out my problems through text message. And he responds up to twice a day which is very frequent. This has been a really valuable experience and I’m a better person because of it

I’ve never done online therapy before so I was kind of skeptical of it. Having Michael as my therapist made me really enjoy the online therapy. He really takes the time to hear you out & replies throughly and quickly. In the little time I’ve been signed up so far, He has helped me understand and cope with a lot of my emotions that I’ve had upon me lately. So thank you.(:

Michael has really helped me reach the goals that I had set out for myself when I intially started therapy. During our sessions I always feel at ease and have plenty of time to talk and express myself. You can tell he is a very kind and empathetic person. He also takes time to answer even several times a day and reaches out to check in on you. In our messages that we have exchanged he always leaves me with a question and this method has really made it easy for me to think deeply about the situation I'm going through, finding a solution, and learning more about myself. I would recommend him to a friend :-)

I love him. He really takes the time to learn me and then helps to support me in really targeted and personal ways

Michael has been my therapist for quite some time now and I have found that he genuinely wants to understand what I struggle with and how he can help me process what it is I am going through. Being seen, understood, and heard is one of the main takeaways I get from being counseled by him and it makes all the difference in my journey.

I will definitely recommend Michael I have discovered a lot about my self and I feel that he understands me

I appreciate his calm and gentle demeanor! I feel comfortable with him. Thank you, Michael

Michael did a very good job with my depression and anxiety in a short amount of time. He was compassionate and open. In my case, we focused on developing a sense of responsibility for my emotional landscape and then my life more broadly. This was a very helpful perspective shift for me. We also reviewed ways ground my thoughts in more sober, reality-based assessments as opposed to being wildly jolted about by the feeling of the moment. These have produced great results for me and I highly recommend Michael.

Michael is fantastic - he's really insightful, a great listener, and always has great tools to help me overcome whatever challenges are facing me. Would absolutely recommend.

I've been receiving support from Michael for quite some time now and have really shown some progress and improvement in my mental health because of him. His support and understanding are like that of a friend and I find it's really easy to talk to and turn to him for that support.

I am thankful for the comfort Michael provides, he really meets you where you are at. Therapy can be very traumatic and uncomfortable and he avoids those experiences creating a place to just blabber if you need, answer questions and get to the bottom of issues.

Michael Tidstrand is an empathetic, caring individual who demonstrates that he is truly listening. He has provided me with valuable feedback and encouragement as I've shared different experiences and struggles in our sessions. Michael responds in a timely manner and uses the online/virtual platform well.

Michael is very open and kind! He creates such a safe space and makes me feel heard and understood. I feel like he is genuinely on my team and by my side. I know he has all the best intentions for his clients and it shows! He’s the first therapist to respond more than once a day. And if you stop responding for a while, he checks up on you to make sure you’re okay. I absolutely love working with him and look forward to working with him more. Thank you Michael!!

He is nice and strong understand my problem Adjust my problem in short time nice to have such wonderful some one help me

I appreciate that when we talk, I don't feel judge. He also replies multiple times a day, which is really nice. The first counselor I have had on here that does that.

Michael has been receptive and curious to my struggles, areas of concerns, and questions. I feel supported by and equipped with an ally in my progress for better mental health. 10/10 would recommend
