More about Michael

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I am a marriage and family therapist with 6 years of experience working with co-occurring mental health disorders. I tend to use the eclectic approach with therapy that incorporates modalities of Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution focus therapy, Narrative therapy, Strategic family therapy, and Emotion focused couples therapy. I have worked in residential treatment for 5 years helping restore functionality to daily living, when available helping reunification with family or support system, helping to identify and adapt to appropriate changes to help improve with quality of living. It is an important process of understanding deficits that interferes with emotional well-being, negative thought patterns, and our ability to manage day to day utilizing appropriate coping methods. It is my goal to help with learning alternative self-care activities, utilizing coping skills, and grounding techniques that could help us to function in the present moment. These are the basic fundamentals that are important through the healing process which could help improve your personal growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Michael was very attentive and caring and provided the help I needed to resolve a conflict I was experiencing in my life! I learned a lot and I am happy to carry it with me. Conversations during session just felt like they flowed naturally from one thing to another and we were able to touch on all points, even hidden ones, in that way. I will definitely look to meet with him again if/when I return to therapy and would highly recommend him to others.

Micheal is a great family therapist. He has helped us as a family of "adults." Our teen graduated HS and stay at home to go to school. Micheal expertly directed her with advice that a "parent" could not give about the transition from being a child to being an adult living at home and understanding personal responsibility. He helped us achieve peace. He comes across as laid back but has the ability to focus on what is really being said. He provides gentle, humorous, educated and persuasive guidance.

Reviewed December 2022

I really like talking to Michael. He is caring and attentive and non-judgmental — believe it or not I have struggled finding these qualities in a therapist in the past so I really appreciate him. I feel very comfortable talking to him and he gives good direction on how to understand my feelings and emotions and we have really good discussions about all kinds of things on my mind. The best thing is that he is very good at keeping track of all of the different things going on and he remembers what is happening to me when we talk and where we left off. It is so reassuring to have someone like him not only to listen but to give useful feedback and show a sense of care for me as a person as well as a patient. I’m very happy with this arrangement.
