Michael Misterka, LCSW

Michael Misterka, LCSW

Psychotherapist
3427 Salem Bottom Rd, Westminster, MD
Hello, I'm Michael. With fifteen years of experience in counseling practice, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges. My practice has a strong focus on supporting combat veterans and their readjustment to civilian life, addressing relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and families dealing with substance abuse and incarceration. I also specialize in managing anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with significant life changes. My goal is to assist you in making practical changes in your life. I believe that therapeutic progress can alleviate suffering and increase satisfaction, but I also understand that this process can be a painful journey, especially when it involves family of origin or significant others. The counseling strategies I use are a blend of developmental, psychodynamic, cognitive, reality therapy, and experiential practices. At the heart of my work is a client-centered and client-motivated approach. I encourage authentic discussions about these strategies and value your decision-making throughout the process. As the client, you have the power to determine what you want from therapy and what changes you wish to make in your life. I will be your partner and walk with you until you reach your goals. If you're ready to take the next step towards a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create the change you desire.
