My name is Michael Southerland and I have over 3o years experience in working with people in mental health, 10 years as a licensed therapist. I have worked in child welfare and adoptions, juvenile systems, and community mental health. I have been in private practice for a total of 8 years. I truly enjoy helping others become their best selves. I am looking forward to meeting you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can expect a warm and enthusiastic acceptance for me. I am a Rogerian therapist that uses other therapies within a context of genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I believe that humor is a good source of healing. I use humor in sessions and you can expect that from day one. I do take therapy seriously and will provide a safe place for you to share of yourself from the beginning.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe greatest strengths as a therapist include empathy, a non-judgmental approach, humor, and an ability to find the roots of problems.
