As a trauma-informed (PCTI) therapist, I am heavily influenced by Viktor Frankl, a Nazi Concentration Camp Survivor, psychiatrist, and founder of Logotherapy. Logotherapy is anchored in the belief that a person’s primary motivational force is to find a sense of meaning or purpose in one's life—but the lack thereof, leaves the individual experiencing meaninglessness and may spiral downward into anxiety, depression, substance use, PTSD, and other mental health issues. With 12 years of experience and certifications in various modalities, together, our work will refocus you and your life and invigorate it with purpose and meaning.
Wilton Manors Office
My specialty is working with individuals who have experienced trauma or are inheritors of intergenerational trauma, such as descendants of Holocaust survivors, slaves, immigrants, and refugees as well as those struggling with identity issues and addiction. Legacy Counseling provides an array of specialized services to descendants of Holocaust survivors.
Viktor Frankl said, "If you cannot change the situation, then your only choice is to change yourself." Change is possible. Therapy can help you move forward. As a solution-focused, compassionate therapist, trained in EMDR, my aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive environment where that change can happen.

Children of Holocaust Survivors

Michael Gans
Hosted by
Michael Gans

A child of Holocaust survivors lives in a world of contradictions and one of the most fundamental difficulties is the ability to trust. The most powerful way to heal the multigenerational Holocaust trauma experience is to reestablish a connection with self and others in group settings. This is a new discussion/ therapy group which starts on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 and is reasonably priced. It will be limited to 7-10 participants and be offered in person. I have worked in Holocaust education and Trauma for 15 years and is an area of specialty and passion for me.

Gay, Gray, and Coming Out

Michael Gans
Hosted by
Michael Gans

For those in midlife and beyond, the process of coming out is fraught with fear, negative beliefs about being gay, and enormous sadness about disrupting the lives of loved ones — including spouses and children — and can pose unique challenges. Elderly men may feel that they don't fit into the straight or gay world. Coming out is a deeply personal process, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be a lonely one. In a group setting it can be a powerful, joyous, and life-affirming experience. This is a new discussion/ therapy group which starts on Wednesday, January 18, 2022 and is reasonably priced.
