Michael Stravato

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Gallatin, TN


I specialize in working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, divorce recovery, complicated family dynamics, and challenging or painful relationships. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to “holding it together”—but internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, talked at, or like therapy just didn’t “click,” we’ll move at a pace and in a way that actually fits you. I attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe and graduated in 1996 with my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy.

I’m a therapist who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and challenged in a supportive way. I work with individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with real, honest conversation. I will help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and take accountability—while also giving yourself grace. My goal is to help you not just cope, but truly grow and feel empowered in your life.
