Michael Balsan

Welcome! I provide psychotherapy to adults who feel lost, burned out, and want something better. I work with engineers, industry leaders, and high-achieving professionals who find that their excellence is not leaving them satisfied. I offer evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, trauma and stress, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming care, assessments/letters for gender dysphoria and gender affirming care. I also have a specialization in working with men's atypical depression.

I am a warm, open and curious presence in the therapy room. I love teaching new skills and providing clients with the tools they need to thrive. My training includes AEDP, which is a trauma therapy approach focusing on helping you understand and work with your nervous system so you can be in the driver's seat of your body and mind.

Therapy is a learning process. You will teach me about you and your life story. I will share with you the tools, techniques and scientifically supported perspectives to make sense of how your mind works and how to start feeling, thinking and behaving differently. I am looking forward to building a deep mutual respect and understanding as we work together.
