Educated and trained at Rutgers, Harvard, Savannah State, and the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Mack started his career over 25 years ago at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, where he focused in Structural Family Therapy (SFT) developed by Salvador Minuchin, a pioneer in child and adolescent therapy. In addition, he has been trained by the Beck Institute and Linehan Institute/Behavioral Tech in evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Client can expect compassionate support, evidence-based interventions, and a non-judgmental space to explore their concerns, develop coping strategies, and work towards their goals. The first session is usually set up to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, foster trust and rapport, and tailor interventions to meet the unique needs of each client. All of this is essential in providing effective therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my knowledge of the cognitive-behavior therapy problem-solving approach for clients with mental health concerns. By using a variety of problem-solving techniques, I can quickly get to the heart of the matter and help my clients to heal at a consistent pace. I use solution-based counseling methods to get my clients to a point where they display good decision-making skills and feel empowered.
