Private Practice

Individual Parent Coaching

Sometimes parents enjoy working on, or enhancing their parenting skills with some privacy. Parent coaching enables you to receive focused assistance custom-fit to your needs. Individual coaching differs from therapy by focusing on present parenting issues.

Therapy

Family relationships can be complex and at times difficult. Sometimes other issues get in the way of effective parenting and in the way of fully enjoying our relationships with our kids. Michael offers a number of options for counseling for you and for your family.

  • Couple Therapy

  • Family Therapy

  • Individual Adult Therapy

  • Play Therapy for Children

  • Group Therapy

Collaborative, Integrative Approach

Michael’s approach to therapy is, above all else, collaborative. Michael will work with you as a team on your behalf to address the issues you’d like to see go differently. One size fits all therapy isn’t nearly as effective as therapy that is tailored to you and your unique situation(s). Some of the approaches to therapy that Michael often draws on to integrate into a therapy approach include:

  • Emotion-focused and experiential approaches;

  • Practical Cognitive Behavioral Approaches;

  • Mindfulness based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and DBT;

  • Integrative approaches such as Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy AEDP, and Schema Therapy; and

  • Metaphorical and hypnosis informed approaches.

The approach to counseling chosen will be based on your preferences, the way you learn new information best, and the depth at which you’d like to address the issues you’re coming for to get some assistance with. Please feel free to ask Michael questions about any of these approaches or how he does counseling and therapy.
