Getting to know Michael Crone

So often, people come to therapy feeling like they’ve been reduced to a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. But I see you as more than that. You’re a whole person with values, beliefs, history, identity, and hope. Therapy with me is about making space for all of it. Our work together isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding you. It’s about exploring the patterns, experiences, and systems that have shaped you, and finding new ways to relate to yourself and the world around you. If you’ve felt dismissed, judged, or misunderstood in the past, I offer a different experience. One grounded in empathy, curiosity, and respect.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our sessions, I’ll show up as a fellow traveler — someone who’s there to walk with you, not ahead of you. I ask thoughtful questions, offer gentle insights, and create a space where nothing needs to be hidden. Whether you’re navigating intense emotions, relationship struggles, identity shifts, or just feeling stuck, we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable. You won’t be rushed or pressured. You’ll be met where you are. Together, we’ll explore not only the challenges you’re facing but also the stories beneath them. Because when you better understand your patterns and pain, you can begin to reshape how you respond to them.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I specialize in working with adults across Oregon who are navigating: - Anxiety, overthinking, or a persistent sense of unease - Depression or feelings of disconnection and emptiness - Bipolar disorder and emotional shifts that feel hard to manage - PTSD and the lingering impact of past trauma - Identity exploration, especially for queer and trans individuals - Grief, loss, and major life transitions - Relationship challenges and self-esteem concerns My approach is affirming, trauma-informed, and centered on helping you build insight and compassion for yourself and the systems that have shaped your experience. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first time, it’s okay to be unsure. It’s okay to have questions. What matters is that you’re here and that you’re considering what support could look like. If you’re ready to get started, I’d be honored to walk with you as you reflect, heal, and move toward a more connected version of yourself.
