I am dedicated to fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship and welcoming women from all walks of life to embark on a journey of self-exploration, healing, and personal transformation. If you are seeking a safe, nonjudgmental, and professional space to address your unique challenges and work towards a happier, more fulfilling life, I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, you can begin the transformative journey toward emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.

I have been providing individual therapy for over 10 years across various settings in outpatient services serving different populations ranging in age. In my practice, I utilize a strengths-based cognitive approach that focuses on the specific needs of the individual. It is goal-centered therapy that allows each individual to identify their specific needs and desires throughout treatment. We will work collaboratively to help you develop your own path for treatment and I will give you tools and skills to practice in between sessions.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I believe we must take into account one’s mental health, physical health, culture, community, family, and recreation, and how this affects quality of life and the ability to live life to its fullest potential. I am committed to collaborating with you and respecting your concerns and goals as we work together to improve your mental well-being. A focus or passion of mine has been how our thoughts or cognitions affect our motivations, actions, and how we feel on a daily basis.

Michael Rosengren, LMFT(MFC28696) HI! I am Michael. I am a mental health professional who has worked with people over the years to help them find their way when thoughts, feelings, and circumstances in life become overwhelming and they feel lost. I don't know what to do. Usually, there are thoughts of depression, fear, anxiety, and anger making it hard to navigate the ups and downs in life. Need to discover how to navigate.

As a therapist, I aim to provide a space where my clients feel safe and comfortable opening up. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the therapist and client relationship and I aim to be a safe container. There can be many reasons as to why you are seeking therapy and I am here along your journey. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed, and a Holistic approach when treating clients. I will help you become more aware, understand yourself better, and assist in helping you change your thought process. I hope that therapy can be a place for self-exploration, self-connection, and self-actualization.

Maybe you've been stuck and unable to see your way forward, or feel a burden you can't quite relieve. Often times we can find our way with the support of family or friends. But sometimes we need the help of a certified professional. I view therapy through the lens of self compassion, understanding and collaboration. It is a moving dialogue that shapes our healing. The development of a therapeutic relationship and interventions are individualized because mental health treatment is more than treating symptoms and a diagnosis.

Welcome to your safe place to process trauma, untangle your messy relationships, shed the bullshit, & live authentically. You're exhausted & drained, and you desperately crave a meaningful life beyond the grind of overwork, over-thinking, autopilot, and trauma. You're out here doing your best, but let's be honest, you're living through one unprecedented historical event after another - just trying to survive and get by. You’re tired of being stuck & you're ready to see what's on the other side of burnout, anxiety, and trauma.

My name is Ty Bufford, LCSW. I specialize working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship issues, generational trauma, grief, addiction, LGBTQ+ issues, and racial trauma. I utilize CBT, motivational interviewing, strength-based therapy, harm reduction, and solution focused therapy in my treatment and consider each person's unique context and cultural background with my interventions and treatment plans. Thank you for taking the first step during these challenging times. Therapy is a journey, and I am here to walk you through this process.

I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

The challenges you face day-to-day can feel overwhelming. Equally challenging is finding someone who is willing to listen and help you overcome the thoughts that occupy your mind longer than they should. As a licensed mental health clinician trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, I offer my clients the attention, skill, and planning to develop strategies to improve their lives. As a potential client, I welcome you to reach out and allow me to work collaboratively with you.

VIDEO SESSIONS AVAILABLE FOR ALL CLIENTS . . . . . Initiating therapy can be a daunting and challenging process, and that begins with selecting a therapist around whom you will feel comfortable, safe and respected. To help you with that process, I'll start by sharing a few things about myself. I became a therapist because I discovered that it was a large part of who I am. Even at an early age, I found that I was often the person others felt safe to let their guard down with - to share what was happening below the surface, and to seek out my advice.

I have worked with a myriad of individuals and families who come from various cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and have treated issues related to interpersonal relationships, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use different therapeutic modalities to include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients achieve their individual goals.

Your soul is ready to heal. Too many of us are suffering in isolation, with complex challenges and big feelings we were never meant to carry on our own. That's where therapy comes in. I love supporting people with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, co-dependance, and issues around self-worth and self-esteem. Bring me your grief, your sadness, your anxiety and your overwhelm. Bring me your wounded parts, and let's hold them close, together. Once you have a place where you feel seen, heard and held without judgment, you will naturally begin to heal. Allow me to be that place for you today.

My therapeutic style is above all relational, meaning that my relationship with my clients is of utmost importance in developing the trust needed to address life's challenges, stressors and suffering. It is in this initial rapport building where I come to know each client's particular life situation, culture, needs and goals. I have worked for over 34 years in a broad range of settings, providing services to clients over the entire life span. I hold your wellness in high regard and respect the very difficult life decisions that we all must make to have a life worth living.

I use Acceptance-based approaches when leaving thoughts alone and moving towards valued living is most appropriate. At other times, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to facilitate skill development and to challenge thoughts. This ultimately increases your ability to flexibly adapt to constant novelty. Both approaches are geared towards discovering behavioral patterns that keep you stuck and then changing them to increase meaning and purpose in your life.

I hold a safe nonjudgmental space where you can explore, learn new tools, and challenge beliefs that aren't working anymore. I tailor my approach based on your needs and preferences. I specialize in working with adolescents, treating anxiety with or without medication, nontraditional lifestyles and experiences (polyamory, plant medicine, artists, neurodivergence), and people interested in deeply examining their choices, feelings, and beliefs.

There is no "one size fits all" therapy approach but my goal as a psychotherapist is to help each unique client strengthen relationships, gain resilience, heal from pain and create hope for their future.

I help clients become uplifted, release blocks, change their beliefs and habits, control pain, overcome fears, grief and depression. I have a spiritual and transpersonal orientation to counseling, helping clients become aware of their higher self and inner power so they can make positive changes. I assist clients in releasing anxieties, overcoming and preventing panic attacks, insomnia, unhealthy eating and drinking habits, smoking and other addictions. I also work with children, helping them to overcome bed-wetting, nightmares, tantrums. I assist pregnant women to learn hypnobirthing methods for labor pain and natural birth.

As a Marriage and Family therapist, I believe that everyone is special and unique. That is why I provide individualized service to those that seek my services. I feel that it is important for you to feel that you are being heard and understood and that you gain value from therapy.
