Testimonials

What supervisees say

“Michael helped me to translate 30 years of working in human services into a social work framework, advising me on areas for improvement, giving encouragement, providing a non judgmental and safe space for me to explore uncomfortable learnings and realizations. I especially appreciate Michael's pre and post session emails, which help to ground me and aid in my own critical reflective practice.”
