This summer we were at our wits end with our 5 year old. Though she is sweet she can be very strong willed and it seemed that between her baby sister being born and the pandemic our struggles with her behavior escalated to a point where we didn't know what else to do.
I found Michelle's profile and felt like she was speaking right to me and I became hopeful that she'd be able to help us.
Setting up the free phone consultation and starting the therapy sessions was so fast and simple. We are so thankful to have found Michelle! Our house has a happier atmosphere and as parents we learned to help our daughter express/ handle her emotions.
Our daughter looks forward to her weekly sessions with Michelle!

My daughter Jasmine has been working with Michelle for 2 years now on her Trichotillomania. She has significantly lessened her desire to pull her hair. It has began to gain strength and is growing back again!
Michelle has really helped Jasmine with coping skills for every aspect of her life. She is more comfortable with herself and the choices she makes in order to handle her everyday stress and anxiety.
I can't thank Michelle enough for what she has done, not just for my daughter, but for my family as she has become an integral part of our team.

I remember feeling so lost and frustrated with my step daughter... I didn't know what to do!
Once I was under Michelle's care, life was better, I felt I had someone to lean on, someone who can give me effective researched advice, and someone who cared about me and my family. I will always hold a special place for her in my heart.
When it comes to Child Mental Health counselors, I highly recommend Michelle Avila. She is knowledgeable, patient, and amazing!

My daughter saw Michelle at Right Fit Therapy after she started experiencing some separation anxiety at the age of five.
After only a few sessions with Michelle I could already see a major difference in her! Michelle armed her with the tools she needed to overcome her anxiety, and also educate me on how I can help my daughter through this process.
We still apply many of the techniques whenever necessary. We couldn't be happier with the treatment my daughter received at Right Fit Therapy. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, loving, patient therapist, you've come to the right place!
