Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 25 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard.
I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself.
I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic.
I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, and trauma & abuse. I also have experience working with intimacy related issues. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
We all have a path that we go down in life and many times the experiences we have in life make us who we are as a person, and this also contributes to our career choices. We all have past traumas, and my traumas encouraged me to want to help others just as I had guidance on my journey. I have an empathic gift that would be a shame to not share.
In 2009, I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Western Kentucky University. In 2014, I received my master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University. I stayed at home with my son for the first 5 years of his life. I worked for Heads Counseling as a traveling trauma therapist for two and a half years. During this time, I worked with children that have open DCF cases and became certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. For the past, year and a half I have been working in Corrections. Corrections has expanded my experience to include working with substance abuse, personality disorders and psychotic disorders.

Hi, I'm Shari ... Are you ready to meet your best and most powerful self? Much of our experience in life is fluid and unpredictable. As an Ocean fanatic, I have found that we never know when the next "high or low tide" will ebb and flow. I empower high-functioning individuals to learn to navigate from the "flow", to "ride the waves", or how to "go with the flow". There is time for watching, treading, sailing, surfing, and anchoring.
Where ever you are in the "flow" of life, we can use the tide mark to understand the "flow of opportunity", to create, fine-tune, or protect what you have grown. Together we can create what you need to better your performance. If you are interested in making a greater impact, healing, or planning for personal growth, Today is the Day --A rising tide of opportunity awaits you!
I am a LMHC with a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership in Health Care Education and it would be an honor to "ride the next wave" with you!

I am a musician starting with piano in elementary school, then clarinet in middle school, and bass clarinet and bassoon in high school. I love music and find it beneficial in every aspect of life.
I decided to grow my family before pursuing a career. I decided to pursue a career in the mental health field because of a family member being diagnosed with a severe mental health disorder. I earned my AA in Psychology, then a dual degree in Psychology and Behavioral Science. After my undergrad, I went on to receive my master's in social work.
I have worked with Veterans, homeless, hospice, young adults, children, elders, couples and individuals with severe mental health diagnoses.
In my pursuit to help my family member, I became even more passionate about mental health and reducing the negative stigma attached to it. This passion I share with everyone I encounter.

Hello, have you ever wondered why you react to things that seem mundane and everyday? Are you curious why simple things that should be easily mastered produce dread and avoidance? Sometimes the reasons are not immediately in front of you but require a journey into your past. I come alongside to walk you through the process of meeting your inner child. I seek to empower you as the adult to reparent that child, to correct the negative feelings that arise as a result of childhood issues. I help create new perspectives to formulate more a more positive self-image. I encourage you to dream to see yourself in better situations, and to better able to manage those situations.
We will use the whole person approach addressing the mind, body and spirit.

You deserve to feel well and live your most authentic life. I provide tools to help you embrace a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your coping mechanisms, improve your mood, and thrive with increased daily functioning, self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-awareness, and authentic self-expression.
When life feels overwhelming, our minds can convince us that we are alone in our daily challenges and during our most difficult times. We get used to handling it on our own. I believe there is a better way. Working with a psychotherapist who can deeply connect with where you are on your healing journey can be transformative. Transformation might look like addressing symptoms, resolving a problem, or seeking something more. By guiding you to deeper insights and clearer understandings, together, we are better able to confront the barriers that may be holding you back from the life you want to live.

Empowering Your Journey to Mental Well-Being: Counseling with Michael Thompson
Creating a Safe Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment:
Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path. I specialize in helping people with addictive behaviors, depression, personality disorders, severe mental illness, anxiety, major life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and finding their identity as adults.
Tailored Approaches for Your Unique Needs:
I use a variety of approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, where we focus on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences. I also believe in motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation and inspiration to make positive changes.
Diverse Experience and Compassionate Care at Calm Mind Behavioral Health Counseling:
Throughout my career, I have worked in different settings, such as substance abuse facilities, prisons, schools, community centers, homeless shelters, and nonprofits. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of people's struggles and resilience. At Calm Mind Behavioral Health Counseling, we focus on personal growth, emotional well-being, and empowerment. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and centered around your needs. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to me. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions, knowing that I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Together, Let's Find Your Inner Strength and Create Positive Change:
I have seen firsthand the transformative power of therapy and the positive changes it can bring. I'm passionate about helping you navigate your challenges, whether it's addiction, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, or anything else. Together, we'll work on developing your inner strength, finding your calm, and creating a life that aligns with your values and purpose. If you're ready to embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment, I'm here to walk alongside you. Let's overcome obstacles and achieve meaningful change together.

Welcome! As many of us know the modern world can be a frantic place, one where demands are constant, and space is limited. In therapy you have a chance to pause and take stock, to become more aware of our feelings and to re-examine the choices we are making in a reflective and constructive way. I aim to provide a supportive relationship within which my clients can safely explore and better understand themselves and their relationships. I take an active role in helping people investigate a broader range of options than at first may appear and invite them to expand the limits of their imagination. I wish to encourage confidence and resilience in managing feelings of doubt or despair, and to help find a positive and affirming way ahead.
My clients consist of children, adolescents and young adults experiencing roadblocks from emotional turmoil to family stressors and communication issues affecting that satisfaction and joy we all strive for. Like most people, we want to lead a life of significance and balance, and we know we are meant for more. You don't have to experience this alone with the right support you will learn that happiness is not a mysterious force it is the result of a set of skills that anyone can learn. Working together we will improve on positive emotional well-being and getting to your comfort zone.

We develop treatment plans for the person collaboratively sitting in front of us.
While we do specialize in certain areas as individual counselors, we are prepared to serve the needs of those who are willing to help in the process.
Below you will find a partial list of areas that we can assist with:
We offer a wide range of services to meet every type of need.
Our counselors see clients who are 18 and above, but in special circumstances, accommodations may be considered for young adults above the age of 14 with parental/guardian consent.

I have been in the mental health field since 2007. I was informed when I first started in this field that the average time for people to stay in the field is two years. I am still in the field because helping others is more than a career choice for me, it is my passion in life. Helping others is a personal goal of mine. I look forward to the opportunity. I enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, children, adolescents and teens, from various cultures and backgrounds. Each case and each client is unique in their way and each client is important.
My particular areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling and family counseling. I refer to myself as a "simple-minded therapist" which means we will explore simple ways to address the presenting concerns because many times the solutions are so simple they can be easily overlooked. I am a firm believer that holding a conversation is more productive than expounding on theoretical approaches.
