A note from Michael
I applaud you for taking this first step in your pursuit to address your mental health concerns. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, specializing in Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral therapy interventions. My journey began as a Behavioral Health Specialist in the United States Army. My military service helped me grow my clinical skills where I learned to emphasize direct, clear, and concise communication that is supportive and non-judgmental. I strive to meet you where you are, and be an active listener in order to help facilitate you achieving your clinical treatment goals.
