She is the worse Meds doctor I've ever had. She doesn't listen to what your needs are. She doesn't care for how you are feeling. She will NOT be there for you for emergencies. All this woman cares about is a paycheck. If you are in serious need of help with your mental state please do not go to this woman. She WILL make it worse for you.

I would like people to please do your homework while choosing a therapist.
My experience with Michelle Van Duinen is alarming. Examples of which are rudeness, truthfulness, cold, condescending, and embellishing. I'm hoping you choose better than I did. I'm in the healthcare field. Standard of care issues. I'm very sure if I treated someone in this fashion I would be let go. Good luck.
