Getting to know Michael Carroll

Hi there, I'm Michael! I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (Psy.D.) trained at Alliant International University, based in Encinitas, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and older adults and specialize in mood issues, anxiety, and life changes. I utilize Humanistic and Integral Psychology to develop a holistic perspective of each client. My approach My approach to therapy varies depending on the unique needs of the client. Using a person-centered and integral focus, therapy is tailored to address the personal, relational, social, and cultural needs of each individual. My focus While I have worked with a wide variety of client needs, my approach is a good fit for anyone dealing with life changes and striving for a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. My goal is to increase self-awareness and self-control, leading to greater empowerment and life satisfaction. My communication style My communication style is open and calm. Clients should feel safe to discuss their concerns with me and accepted for who they are. My journey to mental healthcare My interest in therapy began with a fascination with the unconscious mind and how it impacts our behavior and lives. By developing expanded awareness and acceptance of oneself, we can move toward self-actualization. My goals for you We'll work together to set goals for treatment. Sometimes clients come to therapy with very specific goals; other times the goals are not clear. Usually, the goals evolve over time. We'll develop a plan to identify your goals and what progress means to you. My first session with you In our first session, I'll want to understand what has been going on in your life and what brought you to therapy. While it will be important to identify the pressing problems you may be coping with, I'll also want to explore the strengths and resources you can utilize on your journey to self-improvement.
