Getting to know Mike Klitgaard

Hi there, I'm Mike! My name is Mike Klitgaard, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping you heal past wounds, rediscover your inner strengths, and achieve the life you aspire to. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Texas State University, as well as a Master’s and Bachelor’s from Aarhus University. Using a holistic, individualized approach, I specialize in guiding clients through challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and navigating complex relationships. My approach My therapeutic approach blends proven techniques like CBT, DBT, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (a transformative method using eye movement to process trauma) with compassion and a deep understanding of your unique journey. Together, we’ll work to uncover insights, foster growth, and create meaningful, lasting change. My focus I work with clients who often feel stuck or overwhelmed, wondering why things aren’t falling into place. Whether it's difficulty focusing, lingering pain from past events, or challenges in breaking unwanted patterns, I help people find clarity and healing. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and difficult relationships. My communication style My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood — a place where we can gently explore barriers to your peace and work together to overcome them. I take a warm, friendly, and relaxed tone for our sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve always been driven to help people, but my path to becoming a therapist has been diverse. From my time as a construction painter, paramedic in the Danish military, and chef, to earning my degrees, each chapter has shaped my understanding of resilience and transformation. Now, as a therapist, I’m honored to help clients uncover hope, light, and new perspectives — the most rewarding work I’ve done.
