Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I don’t know what I would have done without him!
I was having an employment issue that I had never experienced before. This was causing me considerable anxiety. Michael provided me with the tools I needed to get through this awful situation. I found Michael to be very kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and I am so grateful he was there to help me.Don’t hesitate to reach out to Michael. He has a wait to get in for a first appointment, but it’s because he’s so good and worth the wait. I made my appointments in advance and had no problems after that.Thank you Michael!!

Unprofessional
Telehealth
I made my appt like 2 weeks ago to see him. I have severe PTSD and I’m bipolar. I wasn’t able to fill out the initial forms so the secretary cancelled my appointment which I don’t think is ethical. What if something bad was happening and she prevented me from getting help!!

Helped with my anxiety/depression after layoff
I met with Michael via Telehealth three times. Being laid off was causing some personal anxiety, as well as adding stress to my marriage. Michael has experience helping with employment search, and had several productive/realistic suggestions to help energize and expand my job search. He also had some great tips around staying positive and continuing to be diligent in my search.

Great MFT
Michael came into my life at one of my lowest points as a new mom - depression and anxiety were impacting my work and home life. Our conversations flow naturally, not your typical “well how does that make you feel” cringe fest. He has awesome antidotes, nuggets of wisdom and has really helped me find hope in my daily life, hope that things will pass if I do the work. He takes into account all aspects - mind and body which has allowed me to even start the healing process physically. Michael is first a man with a kind heart and then a therapist. Hard to find people like that nowadays.

Michael Silver is an outstanding asset to this firm. I see him on a weekly basis and he has helped me immensely. he is ALWAYS taking my needs into consideration and especially with scheduling due to my having many medical issues. He is always ready to reschedule me or even see me twice in a week or even if I needed him to he would see me on the weekends. Truly a therapist that has gone out of his way to help me. I would definitely recommend his service’s to ANYONE.

I have never been so disrespected by a Therapist.
My first visit was to be a video chat with Michael Silver, however he never sent me the link. after calling the office multiple times because I hadn't received a link he called me at home and told me he had sent the link. come to find out he had the wrong e-mail he corrected it and we did a Zoom Call instead. I made an appointment for a follow up the next week. Again i was called and reminded of my meeting I was looking forward to it. however the same thing the next week he sent the link to the wrong e-mail address and blamed me. I informed him I felt disrespected having this happen twice for the same reason. the receptionist confirmed my e-mail address when I called earlier in the day so I had planned to have my visit. however even though he knew he had made the mistake both weeks he never once apologized to me for making that mistake. he Hung up and told me he would not help me.

Nice guy. Really personable and easy to talk to. doesnt seem very trauma informed. Doesnt understand and has no experience with dealing with religious trauma. Is consistently asking me to recap every prior session. While I do find talking to him to be cathartic usually, he has never given me any tools or skills or even really addressed any of my concerns. just listens hich has its merits. i habe learned a lot about myself and my issues. only thing is i learned it all from therapists who post free tidbits and advice on IG lol

i called back to his office so i can speak with him. But this time my call was going straight to voicemail. they didn't want to pick up my call. i just wanted to let him know i was not going to be in the room nor talk to him. this is about the boys. So i left him a message. a few minutes late my ex-wife texted me and told me that i just called again and that they don't want to talk to me. He sure cared about the well-being of my boys.

I have found Michael Silver to be a very knowledgeable expert in his field. He also has a broad experience based knowledge, which he acquired from working with (therapeutic techniques) a wide spectrum of mental health issues and age groups. I have found Michael Silver to be ethical, professional, and compassionate. Besides those three (3) traits, he is an expert too, I have achieved so much healing and functional outcomes with Mr. Silver's psychotherapy practice. This professional is expert.
