Hello! I'm Mike Strauss and I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I work to achieve a compassionate and judgment free therapeutic environment. Many issues can be improved through increasing self-esteem, learning healthy communication skills, sharpening conflict resolution abilities and being able to accept love and support from others. I use solution and evidence-based therapies to enhance the mental and emotional well-being of each and every one of my clients. Organically, throughout our time together, clients will come to know that I am passionately dedicated to them.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral therapy and work with 18+ year old clients with a variety of presenting issues. I have 11 years experience working with young adults suffering from addiction and mood disorders, and I always strive to give my clients the tools to use for many years into the future.
It takes courage to embark on the experience of bettering one’s life. My clients come to know that I’m truly on their side; however, as time goes by, they also become aware that I can challenge them. I strive to become the gentle but strong presence in their lives, the one they look to who finally may know some of the answers to their life’s questions.

I work with clients who may be struggling with addiction and subsequent mood disorders. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
