Getting to know Michael Lucchesi

Hi there, I'm Michael! Is now the time for exploring change and growth in your life? Are you reaching past stress, sadness, anxiety, loss, self-doubts, relationship difficulties, vices, and/or other burdens? Let's start your journey together. Take this first step towards your new best life. My focus My ideal client is someone going through one or more of life's challenges and wanting a real exploration of how to effectively deal with, or adapt to, a given challenge. This could be grief and loss, infidelity or divorce, addiction, depression, anxiety, job difficulties, or even becoming your own champion dealing with many stressors at once. My approach We will explore elements of your life together, in a safe environment without judgment, to find solutions for your specific issues. We will examine life changes, meet challenges, search motivations, learn and practice new skills, create goals, and acknowledge emotions and thought processes to find your best path forward. My communication style We talk in an open and honest fashion, in regular terms, as equals. We ask questions, explore possibilities, acknowledge motives and influences, and we do this in a friendly conversation. Every person's unique situation is respected and their feelings are valid. My journey to mental healthcare My career in mental health began over two decades ago with individuals and kids, then I went on to crisis work and met countless people on their worst days so I could meet them where they were. I've worked with serious mental illness often. Now, I strive to meet all people on their path and join their journey for their best outcomes. My goals for you Depending on the issue being worked on, we set goals that improve your life (work, relationships, overall function, and self). We may practice new techniques to deal with a stressor, examine patterns in life (past and present), explore new ways to think about issues, and overcome hurdles.
