Getting to know Michael Stendardi

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, and life transitions. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy is most effective when it feels like a genuine partnership built on trust, collaboration, and compassion.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is grounded in creating a therapeutic environment built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. I listen carefully, ask purposeful questions, and provide direct, evidence-based feedback to help clients gain deeper insight into their patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. Together, we work to strengthen resilience, develop practical skills, and cultivate lasting psychological growth that extends beyond the therapy room.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with an initial assessment where we explore your concerns, personal history, strengths, and goals for therapy. From there, we typically meet weekly to address current challenges, develop effective coping strategies, process experiences, and monitor progress. As your needs evolve, we adapt our work together to ensure therapy continues to support your growth in a way that feels meaningful and effective.
