I was originally nervous about Brett because he’s older and I’m in my 20’s. I thought he would be judgmental or just not be able to understand me. So our very first session I tested him, I talk about a variety of things including intimate and personal topics. After that first session and from now having had multiple sessions with Brett, I can honestly say he is amazing. He has never failed to make me feel comfortable and accepted about anything I’ve talked about. He can relate to and understand a variety age groups and life stages, and he can challenge you while still maintaining a friendship attitude. Plus he provides a flexible schedule, especially if you need evening or night appointments. I genuinely feel like Brett cares about me, I’m not just a patient. So if you are considering Brett for your therapist, I highly recommend you give him a chance!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

He listens and understands me
Brett's a great guy. He brings warmth, experience, and insight to every session. His input has been invaluable for me.
Michael Woosley is very beneficial to have as a therapist, acknowledging and understanding my needs and always giving me proper resources and exercises to better my condition and myself as a person. Highly recommend
Michael Woosley probably saved my life. I now truly believe I can beat my addiction. He offered me so many different routes and options on how to beat my addiction. He’s open minded and an excellent listener. He also would call me out on my bullshit which I greatly appreciated. He would point out to me when I was displaying impulsive behavior just in our conversations. I think of him as family. He’s been my only therapist and he’s the only therapist I want. He is also a damn cool guy. I love this man
Very empathetic and kind
Very insightful helpful understanding and level headed
Wonderfully validating and very knowledgeable. Great listener and very helpful guidance

Michael has helped me through some very difficult times. I look forward to my sessions with him. He is very understanding and easy to talk to.
Fantastic therapist. Great listener, and gave me helpful insights and practical ideas to help tackle some of the challenges we discussed. Just a couple of sessions were enough for me to feel an improvement! Thank you Michael :)
I find Mr Woosley to be very understanding, helpful, experienced and I really feel that he can help me
Very very easy to talk to. Seems very knowledgeable on all topics. Have zero bad things to say about my experience with him
Very patient and good listener
Thank you you are a great therapist
I only spoke with Michael for one session he seems very knowable in the exact area I wanted to address. However he only works weekends and late evening and those time options do not work for me.
