    First visit was really good. Nice office .
    Verified patient
    3rd visit, really helping me work through a little bit of transition...Great perspective and demeanor. Super helpful and professional.
    Dr. Hammonds loves what he does and it shows. He is a very caring therapist who uses different approaches that seem to work more than the others I have come across. I have finally found a therapist that works for me and recommend him highly.
    Dr. Hammond is calm, empathetic and rational. He also provides very helpful mental exercises and guidance that can be proactively positive; my sessions with Dr. Hammond are not a "wallowing in self pity" kind of stasis -- but he will definitely and compassionately listen to bouts of emotion whenever needed. A very kind, intellectual doctor. I highly recommend him.
    I think he was very nice, receptive to what I had to say and allowed me to express myself. The place is well kept and feels really comfortable inside. It was first appointment so we didn't really get to discuss anything heavy but helped clarify things as the session progressed in a very and professional way
    Verified patient
    Dr. Michael Hammond is an amazing expert and I am in the process of coming to a place of clarity with his professional help. He is without a doubt an extremely careful listener, but more importantly, he makes sure that everything we work on is grounded in the Now and serves the Now (instead of indulging in the past). I have made quite a bit of progress in just a few session, and I believe it is because (1) he is empathetic but firm at pointing out blind spots that I don't see in a truthful way; (2) he offers both a global perspective on life as well as detailed and practical advice that are extremely empowering to me. He also seems to be involved in a variety of social and professional activities which is great to know, because it is important to me that the person helping me is growth-oriented and seems to strive to live a healthy fulfilling life.
    Dr. Hammonds listens well while instilling order (couple's session), sets the right tone, and introduces ideas without taking sides. I highly reccommend him.
    Verified patient
    I quite enjoyed my time talking with Dr. Hammonds - he was very perceptive, had good advice, and helped me deal with a complex situation very effectively.
    Verified patient
    Dr.Hammonds is very amiable and sincere. I trust his opinion and solutions. I couldn't say the same for the many psychologists/therapists I've had in the past. I feel fortunate to finally have found a genuinely helpful and trusted psychologist. Highly recommended.
