See what our patients are saying about Michael Kesselring

Just completed my first virtual visit with Michael Kesselring and it was completely different from anyone I’ve dealt with before at Life Stance or anyone in counseling or psychiatry I’ve ever experienced in the past 26 years of being prescribed medication. The call lasted almost 45 minutes which was 42 more minutes longer than my previous Doctor that no longer works there. He was extremely genuine, asked meaningful and direct questions that made me feel instantly comfortable to answer truthfully and to just be me. He challenged the reason for certain meds that counter react each other. He opened up about his own life and struggles and when listened to mine without suggestion but more questions, showing me that he actually cared. Then he devised a plan and suggest different options to help me after the call and then we came up with a game plan to for the future to cope and get better. I would recommend Dr. Kesselring to everyone that has felt like a number or afraid to ask for help. He is an Empath that truly cares and who found his calling with this career choice of path. It has inspired me to change my mindset almost immediately and ready to learn to become my best self! Thanks Doc Kesselring and look forward to our next appointment and completing the goals outlined to accomplish before my next virtual visit. This guy is the real deal and staff is always extremely helpful and accommodating.

I have only seen Michael KESSELRING twice, but thus far I have found him to be very intelligent, courteous, and knowledgeable about the issues I am facing, as well as interested in my situation. He seems empathetic and genuinely friendly. Most helpful, and I have ended each session feeling understood and helped by his suggestions for daily activities to improve panic and depression. An excellent experience thus far.

Judgement free zone. I went into that first meeting very anxious. We managed to have a professional conversation while checking all the boxes and building rapport. I felt heard and uplifted. Not uplifted in a nonsense platitudes sort of way, but rather it’s that this knowledgeable professional respects my struggle. 10/10 good doctor. Accepts insurance
