Getting to know Michael Crowdes

I DO NOT DO ANY MEDICATION MANAGEMENT I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health counselor passionate about guiding individuals toward breaking free from limiting beliefs and embracing positive change. With 25 years in the corporate world, I bring a unique perspective to my counseling practice. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from John Carroll University and a bachelor's degree from Cleveland State University, providing a strong foundation for my work. Approach and Expertise: My therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman method for couples. I believe in uncovering deep-rooted emotions and exploring past experiences to gain insight into present challenges. Using psychodynamic therapy, I help clients explore unconscious patterns, beliefs, and unresolved conflicts impacting their well-being. For clients with trauma and anxiety, I integrate EMDR, a therapy technique that reprocesses traumatic memories and fosters emotional healing. This approach helps clients relieve distressing symptoms and develop healthier coping strategies. With couples, I use the Gottman method, based on extensive research, focusing on strengthening relationships by improving communication, resolving conflicts, and fostering connection and understanding. Specializations: I specialize in working with individuals experiencing grief and anxiety. Grief is complex, and I provide a supportive space for clients to explore emotions, find meaning in loss, and heal. Anxiety is another focus; I help clients understand its causes and develop practical tools to manage and reduce its impact. I offer a nonjudgmental, safe environment where clients explore fears, develop self-compassion, and build resilience.
