Hello, my name is Dr. Michael Bjornson. Most of my clients simply refer to me as Dr. "B".

I am honored that you are considering me to help you in whatever life challenges have led you to seek help. Whether this may be your first-time seeking help or not, I recognize starting therapy is a big decision requiring courage and trust in another human being, to be there for you in a professional, caring capacity, to facilitate and guide you through important and difficult concerns.

Do you feel sad or overwhelmed? Is anxiety preventing you from achieving your goals? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships or feel unable to change your life? Do you have difficulty sleeping? I can help you change your life and become the person you want to be. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the bond between a client and the therapist, and I make every effort to achieve this bond from the first session. My goal is to have you leave each session with a sense of peace, hope and empowerment.

I'd say my upbringing inspired me from my home to school. I have seen and heard mental health being mentioned as important and encouraged to take care of. I'd say full circle of having gone to therapy, becoming a therapist, and providing therapy is rewarding in itself, I'd have to put a paragraph explaining why, so I'll leave it as that. I look at therapy as a unique relationship that both mirrors and overlaps qualities of a good friend, parent, sibling, partner, etc., where both the therapist and client focus on tackling the concerns he/she presents in therapy.

I am willing to see individuals and specialize in helping clients dealing with issues such as addiction, alcohol use, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, dual diagnosis, and grief.
Life can be really tough sometimes and has been for a lot of people lately. Between the stress of a pandemic which has come with a lot of health concerns, job stress, and financial issues, and then there is still the rest of life and its stressors to deal with on top of that. At this point, no one is immune to mental distress, and no one should feel like they can’t, shouldn’t, or aren’t worthy of having someone to help them through it. I can and want to be there for you in this way.

Hello, my name is David Fallon, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been licensed for about 20 years. I've worked with all kinds of individuals. I started by working with kids with behavior issues. Mostly, I have worked with serious mental illness on the streets, serving unhoused individuals. And I have worked with people seeking help in a one-on-one therapy situation. The first session will be for us to get to know each other and see if this is a good fit. I will be asking a lot of questions. Feel free to ask me any questions that come up as well.
