Getting to know Anthony Michael

Hi there, I'm Anthony! Hello, my name is Anthony Michael. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master’s in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University. I approach therapy with an open mind and open heart, seeking an alliance and offer of collaboration and fidelity to my clients as we embark on our journey together to find effective problem-solving skills, solutions, resolutions, and healthy perspectives for life's challenges. Areas of clinical practice include, but are not limited to, relationships, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My approach My theoretical orientation is influenced by Family/Relational Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Humanistic/Existential Psychology. These orientations inform my conceptualization of clients. A Systems approach holds that thinking, feeling, and behavior are largely shaped by the influence of social systems within which people live. Accordingly, individual thinking, feeling, and behavior are best understood when examined in relation to the role they play within a person's family or other important social networks. A Cognitive approach holds that people experience psychological and emotional difficulties when their thinking is misaligned with reality. "Faulty" thinking leads to faulty solutions. A Humanistic approach views people as having within themselves all the resources they need to live healthy and functional lives, and that problems occur as a result of restricted or unavailable problem-solving resources. As such, the therapist's role is not one of directing clients in how to address their problems but, rather, one of collaborating with clients to discover and access the restricted resources they may need to solve problems on their own.
