Dr. Mike Talks Psych – INC therapy

Hi, I'm Dr. Mike.

I'm a licensed psychologist and author of I Might Be "Busy" That Day, a book about understanding and managing anxiety. My specialties? Couples Counseling and therapy with working professionals.

I’ve spent a decade invested in developing my practice style and have a professional, yet down to earth, style that people respond to.

I help couples like you who are ready to invest in improving their relationship and communication with each other. Some clients and former colleagues have said I’m a “marriage counseling guru”. I don’t know about that, but I do know that my couples clients consistently report back that my unbiased style of practice has really given room for their relationship to heal.

We make progress where perhaps you’ve felt stuck in the past. If you’ve tried couples counseling in the past and found it unsuccessful, I invite you to try one more time. If this is your first go around in scheduling couples therapy, lucky you for finding your way here. I work best with couples who are ready to play big, invest the time and do the work. I know that your family is counting on you.

Here, my services center around Concierge Therapy. No insurance, nobody telling you how to use your monthly retained hours, no privacy concerns or arbitrary requirement for a formal diagnosis. With a smaller caseload I am able to offer you flexibility in scheduling, heightened privacy and more direct, quality time with me as your psychologist. Teletherapy appointments give you the ultimate flexibility in scheduling and you are able to receive personalization of services with our concierge model of care.

I invite you to book a complimentary 20 minute consultation with me through my private practice, to see if we’re a good fit. As Sigmund Freud observed years ago, ” Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.”

Let's Talk Consultation

Public speaking

An engaging style of presenting can help members of your organization better understand and manage common mental health concerns, like stress, anxiety, and depression. Learn effective communication skills and how to better understand and regulate emotion.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

TELLING INSPIRATIONAL STORIES

Stories bring ideas to life and allow the listener to connect with the ideas in a more dynamic way. Stories also allow each person to pull the information relevant to them from the stories, without that information having to be explained in a way they may or may not connect with.

Helping others develop

Self-agency is the idea that each individual can make positive things happen in their own life. However, emerging adults often struggle against the lack of power they've experienced in their lives thus far. Instead of looking to everyone else for answers and direction, imagine believing we can figure it out and make it happen ourselves.

Sharing Real-life solutions

Real-life solutions allow people to move from understanding ideas and wanting things to be different to taking action and creating a difference in their lives. I'll bring 20 years of experience and my ever-growing toolbox of exercises and strategies to help people identify ways to better manage their specific struggles with anxiety and mental health.

Client Feedback

"Mike has a way of speaking that is interesting and engaging. His stories helped me to understand the concepts more thoroughly. His pace was like walking and enjoying the scenery and not running like you're late for class. I would seek out a presentation by him again!"

As a couple, we are doing pretty well and staying real close. We still have a few bicker sessions here and there but who doesn’t? We end up navigating them well once she reminds me of you. You saved us/me.

"I just wanted to send a note of thanks for your presentation today. I appreciated being included, and thank you for your grace and wisdom. I genuinely felt better after hearing your lecture. What a fantastic gift!"

"Great presentation that other professionals should hear. I would seek out or attend a presentation by Dr. Mike again."

"Wish you were around 20-25 years ago at each of my schools."

"Although I already feel confident on this topic, I really enjoy listening to Dr. Mike and sought out his presentation. I always feel as if there is something new to learn from him!"

We really appreciate you working with us on this and value our time with you tremendously.

"The most useful thing I learned from Dr. Mike's presentation was that my anxiety doesn't define me; it is something that I experience and can manage. Mike engaged the room and was very easy to listen to."
