Hi! I'm Myke Cooper. I'm passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to find clarity, build meaningful connections, and create harmony within themselves and in their relationships with the world around them. As a mental health therapist, my mission is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights, and work towards personal growth and well-being. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
During our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can express themselves freely. We'll begin by discussing your goals, concerns, and what you hope to achieve through our sessions. I'll ask some questions to better understand your unique situation and background. This initial conversation helps me tailor our approach to your specific needs. We'll also discuss the therapeutic process, including confidentiality and what you can expect in terms of session frequency and duration. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and ensure that you feel comfortable and heard in our therapeutic relationship. By the end of our first session, we'll outline a plan for moving forward and begin working together to support your growth and well-being.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that helps you develop psychological flexibility and resilience to better deal with life's challenges. The ultimate aim is to enable you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life, even in the presence of challenges.
CBT is a goal-oriented, evidence-based therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In CBT, we work to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier, more constructive ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is highly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety, depression, stress, and phobias, making it one of the most widely practiced therapies today.
This client-centered approach that emphasizes the importance of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding within the therapeutic relationship. Developed by Carl Rogers, this therapy encourages clients to explore their own feelings, thoughts, and experiences in a non-judgmental environment. The therapist acts as a supportive facilitator, helping clients to gain self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. Person-Centered Therapy is particularly effective for enhancing self-esteem, resolving interpersonal conflicts, and fostering personal development and self-discovery.
