Psychotherapy is about becoming comfortable with who we are amid all the bullshit we face moment-to-moment. People work with me who want to live a more engaged life. They want stronger relationships and more mindfulness awareness. Consequently, people who work with me develop an appreciation for the complexity of their lives and the lives of those around them.

I'm not the type of therapist who candy-coats feedback, and my clients appreciate that about me. My clients hire me because they seek a grounded and practical approach that is nested in theory and philosophy. We'll use Individual Psychotherapy to address what is holding you back in life. We'll work to resolve issues such as paralyzing depression, grief, PTSD, crippling anxiety, and addiction.
Services
Some of life's dilemmas require a conversation to resolve: a conversation that weaves past and present, fantasy and reality, desire and inhibition to form a detailed understanding of one's life. A therapeutic relationship is a life-enriching experience in and of itself. We'll study not only your past but how you relate to the important aspects of your present day life.
These are here-and-now-based therapeutic groups with emphasis on direct progressive emotional communication between group members. Put one's thoughts, feelings, and impulses about one another into spoken words rather than actions. That's the frame. The picture consists of the ways that we all connect and distance ourselves from the other people in the group.
I am contracted with VA Community Care to provide behavioral health services to veterans who have service-connected disabilities. There is no cost to the veteran. The disability doesn't have to be PTSD. The veteran has to contact their medical provider or case worker at VA and ask for a referral. You can go through the Salida VA Clinic for this.
I'm here to help you take your practice to the highest reaches of your potential as a clinician. Enjoying your work and your life while allowing it to become deep and meaningful are critical to avoid occupational hazards. Practicing psychotherapy is a collision between one's personal history and professional identity.
Taking a deep look at how your greater life and career trajectory intersect, executive coaching is about honest and direct conversation related to where you want your business and career interests to take you and what obstacles need to be resolved to get there.

In our Executive Coaching relationship, we will tackle managing complex entangled relational systems, understanding the ambitions and motivations of others, and developing decision making processes.Call me to take your work and your life to the next level.

Report
Did not care for Mike's technique at initial interview appointment. Did not go back. However, I am writing this review because he said he did not have anything to do with billing insurance and wasn't in-network for any insurance. It took 2 requests for him to give me a proper bill so I could send to my insurance. It turns out that he was (at least at the time) in-network with UMR and so he over billed $75 over what was allowed in-network. Twice I sent documentation by mail and requested the money back and received no response. If, by chance, the insurance company was in error, he
