Getting to know Michael Grimes

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. My therapeutic approach is clientcentered, empathetic, and collaborative. My areas of focus are depression, anxiety, crisis management, living with chronic health conditions, grief, and helping clients develop andor increase their resilience and ability to cope. My therapeutic approach is an eclectic approach that is tailored primarily using CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy, ERP, crisis intervention, and motivational interviewing. I believe that developing rapport and trust are keys to building an effective clienttherapist partnership.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
