My name is Mike. I am a licensed mental health counselor from Boston, Ma. I treat clients of all ages and would love to get to know you. I am a good listener and together I believe we can do great work and get you to a better place in your emotional and mental health. I am also a consultant and have helped individuals campaigning for various personal goals that include career develop, immigration, individual education plans and other opportunities in the community. I have worked in jail diversion in order to assist clients by creating safe and constructive alternatives to jail time and arrest. I have also been a family and couples therapist for 5 years. Currently I work as a clinical supervisor and school based clinician. I also have have my own practice and treat clients virtually from my home. I have been working in the field of mental health for 10 years.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
On our first meeting together, I would like to get to know you. Some of my questions may seem a little funny but trust me, we are building something. I will ask you about who you are, your history and what brings you to therapy. Together we will create an initial assessment which will serve as a road map from where you were, where you are now to where you would like to be.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I build trust with my clients and listen attentively. I am honest. I will never give you advice that I would not follow. I am always eager to lean more about you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Gestalt
I apply the approach of Gestalt therapy in a non confrontational but assists clients in a nurturing way. I like to gain trust and rapport with a client and help them to strategize and understand what is actually happening in their lives at this moment, and how it makes them feel in the moment, rather than what they may assume to be happening based on past experience.
Psychoeducation
I apply psychoeducation throughout a session for the client to build knowledge and use tools to reduce their symptoms. Additional I will assign homework tools, information, handouts, guides, and chapters to encourage more individual growth and discovery.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I apply person-centered therapy in order to empower give them the opportunity to take control of the therapeutic process.
