Michael Buckhout

I am passionately committed to supporting individuals and couples in their pursuit of more expansive authenticity, creativity, connection, and adaptive habits toward relational intelligence and self growth. I welcome everyone on many spectrums: straight to LGBTQ+, single or monogamous to polyamorous, and anyone in-between! I view you through your relationships both past and present, from immediate family to cultural groups at large. I often follow you through your logic and emotions in the here-and-now, and help you connect with insight from your past - experiences, dreams, and memories that make you who you are.

I hope to collaborate with you on creating meaningful self-reflection in an accessible way, sometimes laughing (and occasionally crying), to help you find more nuance and pleasure in your relationships and with yourself.

We begin by sharing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish here. Depending on those conversations, we might flesh out your relational dynamics, map your past blueprints informing those dynamics, and/or play with an experiential approach to loops you could be getting stuck in. Because your view of the therapeutic process is unique to you, I help tailor our sessions to fit that!
