Hello, my name is Michael Phillips, and I am a licensed LCSW providing Virtual Therapy sessions via secure video conferencing. I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Master's in social work. I am a disabled veteran with an inside view of what it is to serve this country and the demands it places on the mind and body. It is my desire to provide services for all individuals in an environment conducive to healing and growth.
: I work with all clients who are 18 years and older. I provide both individual therapy and couples services. I work with a variety of clients who want to work on depression, anxiety, trauma, Gender dysphoria, ADHD, Autism spectrum, and abuse issues from the past to the present. It is the goal of therapy to help each client develop coping skills to help manage their mental health symptoms. While my approach is eclectic, it draws from different evidence-based interventions to provide a tailored session for my clients. Some of the modalities I use include EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Prolonged Exposure, and Narrative therapy to help my clients become the best version of themselves. By working collaboratively with you, there will be clear objectives and goals for your therapy. This is your journey, and I’m here to help you. Every community I work with has its own set of challenges and unique needs.
Our first session will begin with any questions that you may have. This session, like all sessions, is your time to work on or discuss whatever is on your mind. I am here to go on your journey, giving help where needed and wanted. We will go over session confidentiality and the safe space we create. The remainder of the session, we will spend building a trusting and secure bond.
