Great to meet you!

Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a variety of approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, where we focus on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences.

What you can expect from our first session

I have worked in different settings, such as substance abuse facilities, prisons, schools, community centers, homeless shelters, and nonprofits. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of people's struggles and resilience. We focus on personal growth, emotional well-being, and empowerment. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and centered around your needs. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, knowing that I'm here to support you every step of the way.
