In their own words
Reflections from clients who agreed to share their experience.
“Before I worked with Michel I was struggling a lot with accepting who I am authentically. Through working with Michel, I have been empowered to understand the power in being unapologetically yourself. He has helped me to understand my strengths and how I can use them to my advantage in life. I would recommend working with Michel if you are looking to grow into your highest potential.”
“ Eight years ago, when I first met Michel, I was a single mom going through a painful divorce, working a job that paid $10 an hour, and carrying the weight of a difficult childhood. I had very little confidence in myself and struggled to believe that my life could be anything different.
Through his coaching, guidance, and unwavering support, Michel helped me see strengths in myself that I didn’t know existed. He challenged me to think differently, pushed me to grow, and helped me build the confidence I needed to overcome obstacles that had held me back for years.
One of the most meaningful milestones he helped me achieve was earning my high school diploma at the age of 37. It wasn’t just about getting a diploma—it was about proving to myself that I was capable of more than I had ever believed. Michel’s coaching helped me replace self-doubt with confidence and action.
Over the years, he has coached me through some of the most difficult seasons of my life, including helping me stay strong when my daughters lost their father. During times when I felt overwhelmed, he helped me stay focused, grounded, and moving forward.
His coaching didn’t just help me survive difficult situations—it helped me build a completely different life. Today, I own a successful million-dollar construction company. While I put in the work, Michel helped me develop the mindset, confidence, resilience, and belief in myself that made that success possible.
What makes Michel different is that he doesn’t just give advice. He helps you see possibilities where you see obstacles. He helps you recognize your own value when you’ve forgotten it. He coaches you to become stronger, more confident, and more capable than you thought possible.
It is difficult to put into words the impact Michel has had on my life because his influence reaches far beyond any single accomplishment. His coaching helped me transform the way I see myself, and that has changed not only my life but the lives of my children as well. I will always be grateful for the role he has played in helping me become the woman, mother, and business owner I am today. ”
“ Finding the right therapist can be like searching for a lighthouse in the midst of a storm. We found that in Michel. He has walked alongside our son with extraordinary patience, compassion and unwavering respect. As parents, it is difficult to put into words what it means to find a therapist who is both skilled and also deeply human.
Michel has helped us navigate a landscape that has been complex, bewildering and heartbreaking all at once. He has a gift of delivering calm, authentic wisdom and genuine support along with a flare of light-heartedness and humor so very unique to him. While his primary relationship is with our son, Michel has never lost sight of the impact that mental health has on an entire family. We are beyond grateful for his presence in our lives and cannot recommend him highly enough. ”
“ Michel Bordeau has been my therapist for the past 4 years and has been instrumental in helping me to navigate many life changes: marital troubles, retirement, parenting an autistic adult, and most importantly becoming the confident person that I am today. I cannot overstate how much he has done for me and my family.
I have been to many therapists in my life. Michel is different in terms of his ability to clarify situations and point you toward self-knowledge, with kindness and encouragement along the way. I have referred several friends and family members to him with great success. ”
“ Within the first few minutes of talking with Michel, it was clear he was intelligent, well spoken, personable, and fully capable of addressing a broad spectrum of topics at a high level. From my interpersonal relationships with my kids, life partner, business partner, parents, and with myself, Michel has provided insight and support but more importantly has challenged me to reflect on my perspectives, attitudes, and opinions, in a manner that is realistic, motivating, and honest. I greatly value our time and work together. ”
