"Hello and welcome, my name is Dr. Dawn Michael, I am a nationally recognized relationship expert and certified clinical sexologist. My mission is to help resolve problems that you may be experiencing with your intimate life and relationship. With 20 years of counseling experience I helped thousands of people improve their quality of life and marriage. If you are ready to bring more passion into your life and create a deeper intimate relationship then you have come to the right place. If you are single, or married and your sexual issues are creating problems in your life, it is best to get help before it becomes out of control. My understanding of complex sexual issues is one of my specialties that my clients can feel confident that they will get the help that they need. "

"I employ an integrated therapeutic approach grounded toward helping people to help themselves. I provide an accepting, respectful and trusting atmosphere while utilizing the most appropriate methods to meet your unique needs. Change happens in small steps and reaching out takes a lot of courage. I would be honored to assist you on your path. Call and make an appointment today."

"Life can be a challenge when your emotions are in the driver's seat. If your emotions tend to get overwhelming or out of control, I can teach you specific tools to use in your daily life that will help you gain back control of the present moment and start building a vision for a better future. I specialize in working with people who have been suicidal or who self-harm. I won't be afraid to talk to you about these things, and I'll have clear ideas and plans to help you stay safe and feel better. If you are a parent looking for services for your youth, I will include you in treatment and offer you help in engaging with your child when their emotions and behaviors are overwhelming. My second area of specialization is with the LGBTQ+ community. If you have been struggling with issues related to your gender identity or sexual orientation, I have the experience and training to help you navigate your identity and find your place in the world. I can connect you to a broader community and network of services to help you live the life you want to be living."

"After 20+ years as a therapist, using traditional talk types of therapy, I have found that "EMDR" is the most rapid & comprehensive, form of therapy with lasting results. It allows you to quickly change the heart of the problem, which is typically unresolved feelings from life experiences. Many therapists teach you only to manage symptoms. With EMDR, significant week to week changes are common. Sessions are guided by a "roadmap" which we develop based on your life history. I also do marital and parenting work along with behavioral and psychodynamic therapy. Focusing on spiritual development is available if desired."

"We all go through seasons in life where we need additional support. Are you looking for a safe space to share your story, be heard and understood, and gain tools to help you face life's challenges with more resiliency and bravery? Do you want to feel good about yourself and be empowered to set healthy boundaries? Are you hoping to foster deeper, more authentic relationships with others? A more compassionate relationship with yourself? If so, I might be the right person to help you make the changes you want. I use "talk therapy" as well as clinical art therapy to help you meet your goals and heal, grow, and thrive."

"My approach to therapy is active and direct, yet compassionate. Together, we will explore to find solutions that will bring you positive change and happiness. I work using a variety of modalities including EMDR, psychodynamic, and DBT in order to customize your treatment for maximum and lasting results. "

"You want to have a positive impact in your relationships, work and personal life... and something isn't working - you are blocked, stuck in self-defeating patterns, wounded by life's inevitable pain... you need support to break free and move forward on the path of your heart. How do you choose the support that's right for you?"

"Are you tired of dealing with various issues in your life, but deep down you know you deserve real happiness and balance? You can always design more fulfilling and happier life for you! Anxiety, addiction, fears, depression, issues from the past, traumas, etc. can keep us stuck, but there are many ways for us to go past them, and become even stronger! Do you use food or exercise to manage your emotions? Have you been in a crisis and need help to deal with the situation? Do you need help with your relationship(s)? Don't be afraid to start your journey!"

"I believe the best relationships are built with trust in a safe environment. That is what I look forward to building with you. Through trust and safety, we can begin a coherent narrative through the journey of healing. No one is a better expert in your life than yourself. Together, we can work to make sense of the confusion and build the necessary tools to make you the most effective and positive version of yourself. We can fine tune areas in need, dust off perfectly good tools that have been forgotten about, and even throw in some new tools!"

"Life can present us with many challenges and difficulties that we are not prepared to deal with. As a result, you may find yourself experiencing increased levels of stress, anxiety, depression, poor health, or difficulty in your relationships. I can help guide you through these times; teaching you skills to better cope with the challenges of your life, helping you see things from another perspective, and assisting you to more fully live the life you desire. I would love to help you make the key changes in your life that will result in greater peace and happiness for you."

"Are you feeling anxious, fearful, tense, or angry and cannot seem to break loose from it? You may be experiencing an undesirable habit which seems to control you. You may not like your behavior, but it seems to take over in certain situations or around certain people. Or are you simply feeling dissatisfied with your life? You know you need to make a change, but you don't know where to begin. Even if you've been in therapy before, I offer a new perspective."

""Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." ~ Brene Brown. As a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in treating individuals suffering with anxiety and depression. Through unconditional care, compassion and introduction to new skills, we can get through it together. My clients often are searching for new skills to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression and also find they are on a journey to reconnect with their purpose and value in life. I believe many need someone to understand and guide them free from judgements. "

"I am an interactive Cognitive Behavioral and Solution focused therapist, and my approach is to support clients as they develop their own 'tool-bag' of coping skills to empower themselves to manage their lives and to improve their overall functioning. I provides support, encouragement and practical feedback to help my clients in a safe and supportive environment. By integrating complementary methodologies and techniques I can offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client."

"I believe each one of us has the capacity and resilience to live a full, meaningful life, in spite of painful and traumatic experiences; but we need a place where the unbearable feelings can be expressed, shared, and understood-opening new paths and new possibilities for deeper meaning in our lives. I am privileged to walk alongside you and help you grow beyond the places you have felt disheartened and convinced that expansiveness and growth were out of reach. Therapy provides a profoundly relational context for emotional expansiveness, human understanding, and a growing capacity to bear life's inevitable trials."

"We all struggle at times to maintain relationships, become successful, make the right choices and ultimately to be happy. Sometimes we need help getting to where we want to be. Therapy can offer a safe environment to work on yourself and your issues, whatever they may be. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family problems, or a variety of other difficulties that can keep you feeling down, we can work together to explore the reasons and come up with ways to improve the way you feel about yourself, and about life."

"Today you are one step closer to finding a new you where you feel empowered and confident on a path to growth and well-being. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we cant change difficult situations from the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By using complementary therapy approaches, we will discover behaviors and perceptions that may be holding you back. If your looking for extra support and guidance to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals."

"Haunted by your past. There's a heavy weight you carry around with you everywhere you go. You've tried ignoring it and suppressing it, but it never lets up. Constant anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia, difficulty trusting others, mood swings, irritability, and avoiding reminders of what happened. Imagine what life could be like, if you could break free from your past- letting go of that heavy weight. No longer being haunted by painful memories of things that happened way back when. Having a more positive outlook on your past and future. Developing a sense of ease and contentment with your life."
