Getting to know Michael Guy Mruz
About Michael Guy Mruz, LCSW
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or feeling stuck in painful patterns — you’re not alone. For over 25 years, I’ve helped individuals, couples, children, teens, and families find healthy change, clarity, resilience, and healing in the face of life’s most difficult challenges.
I offer a warm, confidential, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your inner life, better understand your emotions, and move toward meaningful change. My style is engaged and collaborative — I don’t just listen; I work with you to uncover what’s really driving your pain and help you build new tools to move forward.
My work with children and adolescents is aim to support your child in a way that honors their experience while also keeping you appropriately informed and involved and being an integral part of the treatment planning.
MY treatment approach is integrative and personalized. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), mindfulness-based psychotherapy, EFCOT Emotional focused oriented couple’s therapy, psychoanalytical orientation, and Trauma Sensitive Therapy. These approaches help clients, couples, children and teens unravel nonproductive behavioral patterns, develop greater awareness of thoughts and behavior patterns that lead you away from a valued directions in life, learn emotional regulation strategies, and shift from self-criticism toward self-compassion. They allow me to tailor treatment to fit you, not the other way around.
Therapy can feel intimidating — especially at the start. My goal is to make the process feel grounded, safe, and even empowering. If you're ready to begin, I’m here to help you take that first step.

• Anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety, Panic, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety)
