I was trilled to be able to get an appointment right away after just moving to Arizona and needed continuity of medication. I am an LCSW myself and my provider was delightful, thorough and I could not be more pleased. I would refer anyone to her and zocdoc is very fortunate to have such an outstanding provider.

I really appreciated Michelle's holistic approach to treatment. It didn't feel like a one-size-fits-all plan, and she took the time to truly listen to me and understand what I needed.

From the moment I first met Michelle, I was struck by how kind, warm, and gracious she was. She immediately made me feel at ease, and speaking with her felt completely natural. Her compassionate energy made it easy for me to approach her and open up. In my experience, she listens with genuine care. I feel that, by working with her, I will be supported and better equipped to navigate my mental health journey. I believe Michelle is a truly gifted provider, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone seeking meaningful, supportive mental health care.

Michelle North took the time to really listen and understand what I was struggling with. She met me with kindness and grace. I really appreciated her taking the time to explain all medications and diagnoses as well. I definitely recommend her for those with anxiety and ADHD!

Michelle is amazing. She really listens and makes you feel understood, especially when it comes to dealing with depression. I felt welcomed and supported from the moment I met her. Michelle’s holistic approach gave me hope because she didn’t just focus on my symptoms but on my whole life and what was affecting my mental health. For the first time, I feel like I have a treatment plan that’s actually made for me. I highly recommend Michelle for anyone struggling with depression. MS I felt very seen and heard.
