Getting to know Michael Semione
Hey there, my name's Michael, and I help people heal from their past, break out of patterns that keep them stuck, and climb toward the life they hope for. If you are reading this, I imagine those things have been a struggle for you, and I would be honored to help you on your journey.
Maybe you are looking to heal from a home that was unloving or unsupportive. Maybe you feel haunted by pain from your past or by worries about your future. Maybe what you hope for always gets pushed aside for what other people want. Maybe you went looking for love and found hurt and abuse. Or maybe you found the love you hoped for and pushed it away, afraid of getting hurt.
I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, East Bay, and have been practicing therapy for half a decade now. I love what I do! It's an incredible experience to connect with people, many who have never safely been able to share about themselves, and help them feel heard, validated, and supported. As therapy continues, I get to watch my clients release thoughts, feelings, and habits that they have carried and feel lighter and more in control.
If you are interested, or even curious, I would love to hear from you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
First sessions can be nerve-wracking. Some of my clients come in eager to share, but often trusting people hasn't worked out well for my clients in the past. I am mindful of that and will work with you to find a comfortable pace. As you begin to share, I will help you connect how the story of your past echoes into your present. I will support you in identifying the hangups that get you stuck and help you to get a foothold in your life. As you heal from your past and harmful coping, I will support you with taking control of your life and moving towards the goals you've hoped for.
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.
