Michael Loupis

Michael is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Alcohol Drug Counselor (LCADC), Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). He has worked in the mental health field for over nine years with prior experience in residential, intensive outpatient programs, private practice and in-home therapy. Michael also works in a New Jersey public high school as a Student Assistance Counselor (SAC) and Anti-Bullying Specialist. In addition, he is an adjunct professor at Kean University teaching practicum and internship courses to graduate level counselor education students.

I approach my clients on an individual basis. While I have a Level 2 Certified Attachment Based Family Therapist and a certified parent coach I am also a Licensed Clinical Alcohol Drug Counselor. I pull from different techniques such as CBT, REBT and MI. Most important is I work with clients on how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. If comfortable we can also take a look at how your upbringing from childhood to today may have impacted your current behaviors, thoughts and mood.

During our first session I like to understand the reason you chose to come to therapy, what you hope to achieve and what you may expect from me.
