Open Door Talk

"Michelle is an absolute delight and brings so much authenticity and warmth in all her interactions. Her podcast is an amazing and real introduction to varying mental health topics. Michelle and her team's passion for Gen-Z clients shows and she has the highest recommendation for parents looking for someone to work with their teen!"

"I've known Michelle for the past 3 years and when I first met her she was a new GA resident, pregnant, and transitioning into a new work environment all at the same time. When I tell you that Michelle is a caring and magnetic hard worker, I mean it. Her adaptability and relatability goes far beyond the traditional therapeutic "couch" and her passion for empowering youth is remarkable. Open Door Talk is exactly where you would want your child to heal and grow. I can't recommend this place enough!"

"I have known Michelle Pintado for over 19 years and is a close friend and confidant. Throughout life’s ups and downs, Michelle has been loyal, trustworthy, and honest. She has always given sincere advise and goes out of her way to help others in times of crisis. Michelle has a genuine and caring nature which can help people, especially children feel more comfortable to opening up about issues they may be struggling with. As a parent myself, I would most definitely recommend her as a therapist because helping children is what she is most passionate about!"

"It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Michelle Pintado. I first met Michelle while we both worked for a school district in NY as School Social Workers at the secondary level. Michelle and I were both on the secondary clinical team for the district, and we collaborated with one another very closely. I was continually impressed with the innovation and passion Michelle brought to our district and our students. It is refreshing to witness a fellow social worker with such dedication and drive towards making a difference. Michelle was able to develop strong and trusting relationships with the students in our school, and she continually seeks out new strategies for motivating them to grow towards a bright and successful future. Michelle brings a number of assets to the table. She is bilingual, innovative and clinically competent. I frequently reach out to Michelle for feedback and ideas when facing a challenging situation, because I know she can be trusted to think outside the box and come up with a solution on the spot. She is quick to think on her feet while multitasking efficiently and effectively; a tremendous asset for any social worker. Michelle was admired by colleagues, administration and students throughout our district, and I am confident she will continue to thrive throughout the rest of her social work career."

"Michelle is an excellent therapist and passionate about helping children and families. I worked with Michelle in a school setting and she is wonderful! She’s a team player, and never hesitates to go above and beyond to assist her clients. I highly recommend her to any parent that is searching for a highly qualified therapist to work with their child/children. Michelle is THE ONE!"
