If you are a creative soul, an artist, a writer, an actor, a performer, or even a unique individual looking to tell your story in this world and are looking for wide ranging help in areas of life and artistic expression I believe you are in the right place. My name is Michael and I started SCENE Creative Life Solutions because I believe “Self Conscious Evolution Nurtures Everybody.”
My artwork has been exhibited in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle and has been featured in a variety of publications. I recently finished a novel and am close to completing a screenplay.
WITHOUT OUTLETS FOR ARTISTIC EXPRESSION OUR LIGHT BECOMES DIM.
As I worked on my undergraduate concentration at University focusing on the psychology of art and artists. My focus grew for working with individuals with a creative passion. That brought me to the USC where I graduated with a Masters Degree which allowed me to work in Mental Health Private Practice in New York where I have helped people from all walks of life overcome depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, drug addiction, self worth issues, and relationship discord in order to fulfill their life’s purpose. Many of my clients are fine artists, members of the entertainment industry, as well as writers and performers of all genres.
I believe after we talk for the first time you will see my passion for helping people, expressing one’s self, and overcoming struggles and barriers life has presented. I look forward to meeting with you, discussing your needs, and providing you with solutions to your concerns.

With the right match, psychotherapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and see people remotely in New York and Michigan. My approach is warm, genuine, and affirming. It's my job to listen and understand how your background, circumstances, relationships, and overlapping social identities have shaped your experience. Rather than telling you what I think you should do, I'll help you navigate what you're dealing with so you can heal and move forward. I prefer to meet weekly to start.
I have a master’s degree with a law minor from Columbia University and a bachelor's in psychology from the University of Michigan; I've practiced social work for 20+ years. I’ve devoted much of my career to social justice and have worked with, and on behalf of kids and adults of all ages in the areas of mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, education, LGBTQIA+ rights, and homeless services. After some soul searching and shifting of my "why," I've returned to clinical practice and love meeting and working with people from all walks of life.

Absolute unconditional positive regard is my motto in working with each client. If you are looking for a therapist who is kind, attentive and nonjudgmental, then work with me. My name is Lisa Gray. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 22 years of experience. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the practice of making connections between our thoughts, moods and behaviors. I also specialize in Solution Focused Therapy, the practice of finding practical solutions to your identified problems. My approach is to partner with you to reach your therapeutic goals. I am team "YOU" all the way. During my 22 year career, I have worked with adolescents, children and adults. I have worked in hospitals, crisis units, mental health centers and public schools. Throughout my journey as a helper I pride myself on being right in there with you. Sometimes when we are depressed, we lose hope. My job is to hold the hope for you until you are ready to take it back. I am passionate about helping people and I would love to work with you.
