Do you ever let your anxiety get in the way of achieving the joy or productivity you want? Do you feel stuck? We cannot change what we are not aware of, therefore exploring the roots of our suffering allows us to have the opportunity to create positive change in order to have a better future. I aim to help my patients find awareness of their own suffering and individual ways to lean into it in order to ultimately work on letting go of what is no longer serving them. I cater individually to each and every patient often honing in on strengths-based and solution-oriented perspectives.

Many of my clients understand attachment intellectually. They know why they react the way they do. But in the moment — when someone pulls away, when a relationship feels uncertain — their body still panics. I work with people who feel caught between insight and reactivity. Together, we slow down those moments and build a steadier internal experience.

I am not going to bullshit you, proper therapy is hard work. The work we do together will be intense. Expectations will be set from session one about what you want to accomplish through treatment. I will hold you accountable, but in an empathetic and caring way. My patients have described me as "Invested, when I speak to Mike during sessions I can see how engaged and active he is to help me" as well as "Blunt, but compassionate. You can tell he cares and that allows him to challenge and push me to be a better version of myself".

You may feel on edge, shut down, emotionally reactive, or simply exhausted—sometimes even after trying therapy before. Anxiety can keep your nervous system on high alert, depression may dull your energy or sense of connection, and past experiences can linger in the body as tension, overwhelm, or emotional swings. Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, something may feel off. You’re not broken—your system is responding to what it has lived through. Integrative Therapy can help you or your child feel more grounded, steady, and at ease again.

Positive Psychology Therapists
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.
When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviors differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.
Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
