Getting to know Michael Hurtado

Hi there, I'm Michael! As a supportive and empathetic therapist, I am passionate about helping you through the concerns you are facing. I'm here to help you sort through the challenges that are difficult and navigate through life’s transitions. I specialize in anxiety, depression, anger management, dysregulation, and various forms of PTSD. I take a collaborative, compassionate, empathetic, and forgiving approach to therapy. Understanding you as an individual and your specific needs. I welcome you to reach out with that first step. One step at a time is all it takes to get you there. My approach I prefer to use an eclectic integrative therapy approach, which is more flexible and combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools of thought. This method helps with the needs specific to the individual. This helps assess and identify various possible factors that are causing painful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We will get to the root issues and develop techniques and strategies that are tailored to your individual needs. My focus Have you been going through long-term struggles or recent life changes? Are you dealing with negative thoughts and emotions that are affecting your life and holding you back? Together we can work through these painful experiences, understanding root causes, developing coping skills, and exploring step-by-step goals. Overall, we can create a plan for finding your potential and growth that works specifically for you. My communication style Working together with open and direct communication in a confidential and non-judgmental setting is the groundwork for the safe environment I provide. I practice effective listening and effective consideration of what is said and discussed. You, as the patient, will have the opportunity to reflect on what is discussed, collaborate in the overall therapeutic strategies that move us forward.
