Getting to know Michael Bjornson
Hello, my name is Dr. Michael Bjornson, though most of my clients simply call me Dr. "B." I have been a licensed clinical psychologist for over 26 years, with active licenses in California, Utah, and Wyoming. I earned my PhD in Clinical Health Psychology from Alliant International University and completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Utah. I am honored that you are considering me to help you with whatever life challenges have led you to seek support. Whether this is your first time seeking help or not, I recognize that starting therapy is a big decision requiring courage and trust in another person to be there for you in a professional, caring capacity, guiding you through important and difficult concerns.
I consider myself a privileged participant in people's lives as I ?journey? alongside them in their struggles. I strive to provide caring, compassionate, non-judgmental, and confidential services, emphasizing a positive psychology perspective that includes CBT, ACT, and humanistic approaches. Much of my career has been spent working alongside physicians and other primary care providers in both primary and specialty care settings.
My communication style
Most clients describe me as easy to open up to, as I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where trust naturally develops, allowing you to discuss whatever you feel comfortable sharing during our sessions. While therapy can bring up strong emotions and be very serious, many clients have appreciated my sense of humor at certain times-well-timed humor can be part of the healing process. Regarding my style, I'm easygoing and definitely not uptight. I strive to maintain clear communication so I can fully and accurately understand your concerns, often seeking your input to ensure what I say makes sense rather than assuming. I also do my best to minimize any ?psychobabble? or confusing psychological jargon! ;)
