Michael Newman
Hello. I'm Michael Newman, LCSW. Life is a mixture of experiences. Many are enriching and pleasurable, while others leave us feeling confused, doubtful, hurt, stressed, or angry. These challenging emotions and the reactions that often accompany them commonly arise in our relationships with partners, children, parents, in our work environment, or in our efforts to create a meaningful path in life. We may realize that we need more than our current resources to creatively navigate life in a way that leads to finding resolution or accommodation to the challenges, and fulfillment in our life journey.
