I love my therapist and highly recommend them to anyone.

Lauri S. (Parent, licensed Psychotherapist)

I highly recommend Dr. Michelle Hintz to anyone that has a child struggling with anxiety, social issues, parent conflicts and more. Dr. Hintz was able to help my child feel like she was “normal”, not alone and my child is thriving.

Cate C (Parent)

Both of my children have Autism and have been with Cadenza for over 9 years! During their time there they have received psychotherapy, music therapy, art and drama therapies and also have been involved with their social groups! My son is currently receiving ABA therapy at Cadenza and is making huge improvements. Both of my children have amazing rapports with Dr. Hintz, her therapists and also the office staff! We have had years with nothing but amazing experiences with this team! Dr. Hintz has worked diligently and has successfully convinced our insurance company to cover the services that my children require! She has attended my children's IEPs and has been an amazing advocate! There is no place I trust more with my children's mental, emotional and behavioral care than Cadenza!

Dr. Michelle Hintz has worked with my daughter for several years now. She has seen us through medication changes, diagnosis changes, frustrations and residential care. She has been wonderful, both for my daughter and for me. She never gave up, as others had. When I first interviewed Dr. Hintz years ago, I was looking for someone with experience with violent outburst in young children, someone I could connect with who was empathetic to my situation, and someone who would commit to a long term relationship. It would take my daughter a year of weekly therapy sessions just to begin communicating. After interviewing several other therapists, I met Dr. Hintz. I was instantly at ease, and impressed with her strength and convictions. My daughter was often non- communicative, oppositional, reactionary and had outbursts of violent behavior. She had few, if any, friends, and no patience with others. She was quite an intimidating little girl and I didn’t know how to respond to her. Dr. Hintz navigated us through a process that has brought us to the good place we are now. We are doing very well, and I hardly remember those early years of constant conflict and confusion. We have found a path that works, a school that works and my daughter now has several friends. She has matured and I have support and advice when needed. I have recommended Dr. Hintz to several people whose children had behavioral issues, and will continue to do so

Elizabeth P. licensed marriage and family therapist

Dr. Hintz exemplifies the word "professional" when it comes to working with her patients and families. In addition, her relationship with supervisors, colleagues and students demonstrated leadership skills beyond what was expected of her. Dr. Hintz's high standards and expectations of herself (and her work) far exceed any that would be placed on her by others. I was privileged to have worked with her at Miami Children's Hospital and observed her clinical skills directly. Dr. Hintz's versatility in her therapeutic style reaches children and adults of all ages. Her training as a Music Therapist along with her knowledge and skills as a Clinical Psychologist is an asset for any organization and/or individual seeking her services. In addition, her work with children with pervasive developmental disorders was exceptional. Children who had never been able to communicate needs or feelings to their parents learned to do so with Dr. Hintz's multi-modal therapies.
