Getting to know Michael Wilson

Hi there, I'm Michael! Therapy can be beneficial to all, from pursuing small changes and enriched happiness to dealing with major life events. I've worked with a wide variety of individuals dealing with mild to serious behavioral health issues. I tend to lean towards a motivational, collaborative approach, with a behavioral analysis foundation. My focus My focus is to help individuals clarify what they want, manage thoughts and feelings, address frustration, self-doubt, anxiety/depression, navigate life events, and at the core of it to pursue the life one wants. My approach I use motivational, behavioral, relational techniques to explore where you are, what you want, and how to get there. This approach relies on active listening, is insight-oriented but not reliant, utilizes practical tools, and values the individual story. The therapeutic relationship is essential, communication, attentiveness, support, and honesty. My communication style You can expect clear, open communication and a supportive, non-judgmental environment, though it will not be without clarifying questions which can be challenging at times and very rewarding. My journey to mental healthcare I first worked with individuals with serious mental illness dealing with basic daily well-being, providing much assistance and care. My experience has spanned inpatient/outpatient clinics, substance use, and court systems. I have been a case-manager, therapist, manager, and director. At the core in any given role, is the individual in front of you. My goals for you Together, we’ll identify and set goals that matter to you whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, achieving a desire, or overcoming an obstacle. Your goals may evolve and we can adapt our plan at any time. I’m here to provide you with the support and tools you need to continue to move closer to where you want to be. Our first session Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another.
