Testimonials

"It's no exaggeration to say that Mike changed our lives. We came to him for couple's therapy two years into our marriage, almost as a last resort "check the box," nearly certain (though terrified) that our relationship had run its course. We were skeptical therapy would be all "rainbows and crystals," but immediately warmed to Mike when we saw he was grounded, open but structured, and very very thoughtful. With commitment and Mike's help over the time we worked together, we eventually emerged with a stronger foundation for our relationship than we had ever had, and a renewed love and understanding for one another.

Mike has tremendous reserves of kindness, empathy and optimism about people and relationships. We always felt he was very much there with us, living each of our perspectives -- enabling us to feel seen and helping us to see ourselves and each other more clearly. He cared deeply and his faith in us and our relationship carried us through some of our darkest moments of fear and loneliness. Over the course of our time together, our relationship with Mike grew to feel more like a very close friendship and by the time it became clear our treatment had run its course, we were genuinely sad not to be coming back.

We cannot recommend Mike highly enough. We've now been married over half a decade and are looking forward to starting a family together on very firm footing. No one writes in the relationship manual that you're going to fall in and out of love, but if you're strong, committed, and have a good tour guide on the way, then you'll get to a place infinitely better and it's worth it."

"What can I say? When we walked into Mike's office we basically had lost all hope. We had been in couples therapy once before earlier in our relationship and it was a disaster. But Mike's approach was different, his style of working with us helped me see what was really going on under the surface, which was news to me. It was very eye-opening for both of us. Now if we're not seeing eye-to-eye, we approach it from a whole other way and somehow we usually end up feeling closer. Mike really has a knack for this stuff."

- J & T, Together 9 Years

"My husband and I are just very different, everything seemed like a struggle...finances, parenting, our careers...you name it, we argued about it. We weren't using the D word but I could tell we were both beginning to divest from the marriage so I suggested we seek help. I'm so glad we did. Mike immediately put us at ease, he's very empathic and I began having more empathy for both my husband and myself. We had been locked in a power struggle for years and I was finally able to let my guard down and share all these feelings that i wasn't really even aware I had because I was always so caught up justifying my position. Our marriage is different now...we laugh a lot more, we're more vulnerable and we even let each other off the hook. Some therapists are truly gifted and Mike is certainly one of them."

- A & L, Married 16 Years

"I knew I always loved my husband but our sex life was never very satisfying. It was hard to open up and talk about but Mike was great, with every session I felt more comfortable and we were finally able to figure out where we were going awry. Mike was really talented at getting to the heart of the matter and helping us experience each other in new and different ways and start enjoying each other in bed!"

- Erica, Age 36

"Through his compassion, patience, and insight, our couples and sex therapist, Miklos, has helped us to rejuvenate the intimacy of a 23-year relationship. But just as importantly, by attuning us to the underlying causes of sexual and emotional distance, he has helped us to communicate more effectively and understand each other more empathetically."

- M&J, together many years

"I suffered from erectile dysfunction ever since college and while I could rely on Viagra, I just didn't want to. Mike helped me understand how I was working against myself and getting in my own way. It's been over a year since I last saw Mike and I can happily report I no longer worry about not being able to keep it up."

- Martin, Age 29

"Mike has the ability to accept me exactly as I am while challenging me to be the person I know I can be. I'm kinder to myself now but also hold myself accountable in ways I never did before working with him."

- Janine, Age 34

"Mike has helped me come to terms with what I went through and as a result I no longer feel held back by my past. I look toward the future with a mix of hope and excitement now."

- Michael, Age 27

"Moran, as we affectionately would call Mike, became a trusted ally in sorting out why our relationship was so volatile and always felt tenuous even though my partner and I had been together for years. He held hope when we had none, and he accurately diagnosed my depression which had always fallen under the radar but was wreaking havoc on our relationship. Once this was being addressed and things calmed down, he helped us learn how to relate to each other in much more satisfying ways...I can't thank him enough."
