I am a highly skilled psychotherapist who has served the educational and mental health communities in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area for 20 years. “Mr. Mike” as I am affectionately known, brings a wealth of experience and professional acumen to the clients here at Growtherapy. As an effective clinician, I understand the importance of treating each of you with respect. I specialize, but not limited to the treatment areas of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and strained relationships just to name a few. As a skilled life coach and behavioral transformationalist, I believe that prosocial paradigms fused with progressive initiatives produce the very best outcomes in people and in people-driven environments alike. I'm an avid reader, who loves nature, fine arts, international travel, and culinary delicacies. lastly, I hail from a large, loving family who supports this fine vocation. Further, I'm a big proponent of youth advocacy, entrepreneurship, and community service. I was educated in the states of California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Welcome to the practice of RedemptionTriple-C !
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is usually a feeling out session. However, I will be open, empathic, while utilizing active listening skills to ascertain if we are a good match for this process. In addition, this would be a judgement free session, that allows the client and therapist to build a rapport. I encourage my potential clients to seek a therapist that they are comfortable with. So, if we aren't a match... it's appropriate that we both move on.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is the ability to listen without judgement, while assisting my client in formulating a plan that actives their own personal strength.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with those in the helping profession arena. Client growth and progress can be very rewarding for all parties involved I'm honored to be part of the mental health community, and find that healing and growth can be rewarding for client and provider alike.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I'm well versed at more than one method . My approach is to provide the method that best suits the client's needs, while meeting them where they currently are. This includes emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.

I really appreciated his balance of approachability without forsaking directness. I'm someone who does need a little push but who also recoils from being "told" what to do, and Mr. Mike seemed comfortable and experienced with walking that line. I look forward to seeing where future sessions lead.

This is the type of Dr I was looking for. He could understand everything I was saying even though I couldn't find the words. We (specifically black men) need more of these Dr's.
