Hi there, I'm Michael! Michael D. Erickson LPC, is an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, mediator, and mental health professional with more than 25 years of experience serving individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. My focus At the heart of Michael's professional philosophy is a simple belief: people deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported when they are facing difficult circumstances. He demonstrates a combination of clinical experience, crisis-intervention expertise, mediation training, and genuine commitment to helping others. My approach Michael's counseling approach is compassionate, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. He believes effective counseling begins by helping people understand their values, recognize patterns that may be creating distress, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. My communication style Whether working with an individual facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship difficulties, or with a family navigating divorce, Michael's goal remains consistent: to create a safe, respectful environment in which people can gain clarity, develop healthier patterns, and move toward meaningful and lasting change. My journey to mental healthcare Michael earned a degree in Psychology from Northwestern University of Minnesota and a Master of Arts in Counseling and Psychological Services from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.
