Michael Wood

My style is collaborative, client-centered, positive-energy, and solution-focused. I support my clients in developing solutions based on their goals and aspirations. My ideal client is one who is willing to "go deep," to learn about aspects of personality, behavior, and character that can contribute to developing a more profound sense of joy and fulfillment. Many of my clients are searching for meaning and purpose of in their lives. Its exciting and rewarding work. On a personal level, I am warm, caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I read widely and draw from the fields of neurobiology, addiction medicine and positive psychology.

I love working with couples experiencing relationship distress, communication challenges, and seeking improved emotional intimacy. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with addictions of all kinds, both substance and behavioral. I work well with individuals seeking to lower their anxiety, tackle their depression, and recover from grief and trauma.

If you are experiencing relationship issues, the aftermaths of trauma, depression, or anxiety, please reach out; you can feel better and achieve a greater degree of self-acceptance, self-esteem, and discover your purpose and meaning in life.

I have personal experience in the business world and artistic expression.

My natural Client Centered relaxed approach is like meeting with an experienced trusted wise uncle that brings out the best in you. I believe that we heal in relationship with others and my connection comes from my developed authenticity, comfort with vulnerability and unconditional positive regard. I am influenced by psychodynamic therapy, CBT and solution focused positive psychology

Our first session will be two humans connecting over life experiences, goals and current challenges. I will prioritize your needs and desires as we explore your inherent strengths, talents and goals that will facilitate you in overcoming life’s obstacles. My sessions are upbeat and positive.
