Michelle Coleman, LICSW

There are much better providers in Walla Walla, Tri-Cities or on counseling Apps. Michelle seems very outdated in her approach and distracted by her own personal life. Don't waste your time or money.

Michelle was extremely biased towards the mother, ignoring evidence and dismissing key witnesses. She failed to investigate critical safety concerns, misrepresented facts, and neglected the child’s best interests. Her report lacked objectivity and thoroughness, causing unfair recommendations. Michelle, a stereotypical feminist, prioritizes feelings and her own opinions over facts and actions. If you are a father seeking a fair, balanced, and evidence-based evaluation for your child’s well-being, do not allow Michelle to serve as a GAL. She appears unwilling to consider a father’s perspective or weigh documented evidence appropriately, resulting in recommendations that are neither impartial nor in the child’s best interests. I strongly advise looking elsewhere for a GAL who will conduct a thorough, fact-driven investigation and remain committed to protecting the child’s welfare above all else.

My child was traumatized when she found out everything she had confided in Michelle was relayed to the whole family. She has not trusted a counselor since.

Michelle provided good tools and insights when I needed it the most. I’m forever grateful for her support.
