As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than two decades of experience, my commitment to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health support to individuals across the lifespan is unwavering. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, teenagers, and adults, helping them navigate the complexities of their emotional and psychological well-being. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques grounded in the latest research and clinical practices, I strive to empower my clients to overcome obstacles, develop coping strategies, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity. My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative, with a focus on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. I recognize the unique strengths, experiences, and needs of each individual, tailoring my interventions to meet their specific goals and preferences. Whether addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, or life transitions, I prioritize creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions openly. Throughout the therapeutic process, I work alongside my clients as a guide and facilitator, offering empathy, insight, and encouragement as they embark on their journey towards healing and personal growth. I believe in the inherent resilience of the human spirit and am deeply committed to helping my clients harness their inner strengths and resources to overcome challenges and live more fulfilling lives. My ultimate goal is to support individuals in realizing their full potential, fostering positive change, and promoting overall well-being in their lives.

I'm Dr. Michael Moates, and I'm here to help you find relief and work through whatever challenges you're facing. Whether it's anxiety, depression, struggles with focus, or the impact of past experiences, my goal is to work with you to create positive change. I hold a doctorate from Fielding Graduate University as well as 2 masters degrees. My licenses include psychology, mental health counseling, behavior analysis, and addiction counseling. I have been in the mental health system since 2015 working in various settings including in home, school , center, hospital, private practice, and virtual programs. I have worked with a wide variety of cases but my heart lies with general psychology (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.) as well as forensic (domestic violence, divorce, criminal justice, etc.) and special education/behavior (ARD/IED/504, Autism, ADHD, Dysgraphia, ODD, etc.). I know, a very wide range of experience, but I love helping people. I understand that seeking help can be daunting, so my approach is to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your concerns. I use proven techniques to help you understand your patterns, develop new coping skills, and ultimately build a life that feels more fulfilling. I'm also licensed in several states, offering flexibility for where we can work together. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to talk about beginning the therapy process.
