Getting to know Michael C. Thompson
Empowering Your Journey to Mental Well-Being: Counseling with Michael Thompson
Creating a Safe Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment:
Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path. I specialize in helping people with addictive behaviors, depression, personality disorders, severe mental illness, anxiety, major life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and finding their identity as adults.
Tailored Approaches for Your Unique Needs:
I use a variety of approaches tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, focusing on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences. I also believe in motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation and inspiration to make positive changes.
Diverse Experience and Compassionate Care at Calm Mind Behavioral Health Counseling:
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings such as substance abuse facilities, prisons, schools, community centers, homeless shelters, and nonprofits. This experience has given me a deep understanding of people's struggles and resilience. At Calm Mind Behavioral Health Counseling, we focus on personal growth, emotional well-being, and empowerment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After your first session, expect a safe and supportive environment to freely express yourself. We'll discuss your goals, concerns, and create a personalized plan. I'll empower you to take charge of your mental health using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and contemplative therapy. Over time, gain self-awareness, resilience, and align your actions with your values. Our therapeutic relationship will provide consistent support as we address core issues, strengthen coping skills, and foster sustainable changes. At Calm Mind Behavioral Health Counseling, we're dedicated to your growth, well-being, and empowerment. Let's overcome obstacles and create positive change together.
