About You Counseling & Coaching, LLC

I moved to Fernandina Beach in October of last year. We moved from Massachusetts where my daughter had a network of support that included her therapist. My daughter was born in Russia and lived in an orphanage until she was 18 months old. As most people know, that is the most important time in a child’s life where they bond with their Mother, receive love, attention and nutrition. My daughter never had that. She lived in a very poor orphanage where fifteen babies were tended to by one to two workers. Food consisted of milk and bread. When a baby cries there is no one to pick them up, love them or care for them. Now many years later, even though I have given her all the love and help I can, she still struggles. She has been diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, high functioning autism, anxiety and depression. All of these relate back to her time in Russia whether it be when her mother was carrying her or something that happened (or didn’t happen) in the orphanage. So important to me is having someone she can talk to and help her with life issues that I can’t help her with. She needs to learn strategies on how to get by in life which comes so easy to most of us. She struggles with having no friends and not sure how to make them. So I was extremely nervous moving here because I didn’t know if I could find someone who could carry on with the therapy she received in Massachusetts. I shouldn’t have been worried and God blessed me… through FBMS Michelle Rampone was recommended. My daughter and I met Michelle and just loved her. Michelle does not just provide therapy from a book … she lives it. She has ADHD and relates to my daughter like no one else ever has. She teaches her things that no other therapist has to date because she has lived it and gets it. My daughter loves her because she relates to her. Michelle has a support dog and my daughter loves Gus. Gus is by Michelle’s side and is very calming to my daughter who loves animals. I can’t say enough of what Michelle has been doing for my daughter. She works with her, they play games, they talk and she comes home with things to work on that are making a difference in my daughter’s life and mine. I would highly recommend Michelle Rampone to anyone looking for an amazing therapist. More...

I have to say that it has been a privilege to work with Michelle. Over the last 6 months she has been seeing my son and our family and I can't say enough about her, both as a therapist and a person. Her expertise of ADHD is invaluable. She is always generous of her time and her dedication to helping others is very apparent. We have been to MANY different counselors in the past and my son would not talk to ANY of them. It was different with Michelle right from the beginning. I could not believe how easily he connected with her. She is a God sent to both my son and my family, who also love her! Michelle is the most down to earth, knowledgeable, caring counselors I have worked with. Honestly, I don't know where we would be if it wasn't for her guidance. She is beyond 5 stars! More...
