Hello, I'm Michael F. Stample, PhD, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I work extensively with individual adults, couples and families. My primary expertise is in mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, dual diagnosis, LGBTQ+ and transgender healthcare. I mostly work with adults over age 17 or 18, through the later years. While psychiatric diagnoses have their uses, I prefer to see my clients as dealing with "problems of living." I work comfortably with psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and other evidence-based therapies. My early training included internship at the Jung Institute of Los Angeles.
In essence, my approach is relaxed and conversational. Therapy is a conversation, not a "treatment." I believe my clients see me as an equal partner in the conversation, while expecting me to know a few things, beyond the ordinary, which may be helpful.
Our first session involves establishing a reasonably clear definition of immediate challenges/problems, and an overview of some possible solutions. The first session is about establishing a mutual comfort level, and trust. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
