Mike Strauss

Hello! Im Mike Strauss and I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, and depression. With my own background as an addict now with 18 years clean and sober, I organically found my purpose as a clinician. What initially started with drug and alcohol counseling immediately turned into something bigger, as I pursued a master’s degree in social work. Understanding that addiction is but a symptom of underlying fears and traumas resulting in mood disorders, I was able to REALLY look at myself as I encourage my clients to do during their journeys toward self-realization.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with 18+ year old clients with a variety of presenting issues. I have over 10 years experience working with young adults suffering from addiction and mood/personality disorders, and I always strive to give my clients the tools to use for many years into the future.

I’m a proponent of building rapport and getting my clients grounded and resourced first and foremost. I provide coping tools for the regulation of both mind and body. While we can bring levity and humor to sessions, my clients will also be heavily challenged. My main goal is to facilitate growth and strength through vulnerability, mindfulness, and gratitude.
