Getting to know Michael Yadaoevans
Hi there, I'm Michael!
My approach to therapy is very collaborative because I think change is a process we all go through together. I have worked mostly with children from infants to high school, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism), and various substance abuse disorders.
My focus
I have worked mostly with children from infants to high school, neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Autism), and various substance abuse disorders. I've done a lot of work with managing emotions, coping skills, self-esteem, assertive communication, and behavior modification.
My approach
My main inspiration for therapy is a woman named Virginia Satir. She was called the “Mother of Family Therapy” and had a very patient, nurturing style. I fall under what is called the humanistic or client-centered approach, which tailors therapy to the needs and style of the client.
My communication style
I do as much listening as possible and try to interject carefully when needed. I allow the client to lead the discussion (unless they request not to) and focus on providing a nonjudgmental ear. I refrain from advising unless specifically requested.
My journey to mental healthcare
I feel that I've always had the natural personality to be a therapist, but I just didn't know it at the time. I like to be a supportive listener to my friends and family. I have tons of patience, and I enjoy helping people and seeing them live happy lives.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a very collaborative process, where we agree on goals together and how to go about achieving those goals.
Our first session
A first session is generally low intensity. My main focus is to get to know each other better and build rapport. I will also try to gain basic information that can help me understand what issues are going on.
