About me
I began my career as a child and adolescent counselor in 2002. I believe in a collaborative approach involving parents/guardians and the adolescents in determining treatment goals. I have had success enhancing ADHD coping skills, organizational improvement, and reducing self - harm behaviors. I have been rewarded as the adolescent population can be resilient in progress and abilities.

Michael is great! Very understanding, patient and helpful. He gives great advice and you can actually see results in behavior and attitude of your child. I've recommended him to others and will continue to do so.
We are so thankful to have Michael W as our son's therapist. From the very beginning he was very open and understanding about the issues he was experiencing. It was nice to be able to have therapy sessions either online or through video or phone. He's very knowledgeable and caring! We are very glad to have him as our therapist.
Michael was kind and thoughtful in helping me deal with my stressful situation. he helped me balance my emotions and gave me tools to rebalance myself.
Michael is friendly, professional, and experienced. He has helped me for numerous years now on various situations with compassion and empathy
I tell everyone that will listen to use teencounseling.com and Michael in particular.
Michael's life experience is reflected in his capacity to understand my situation. It's helpful to talk to someone who's seen first hand, situations similar to what I'm living. I feel that I can trust his knowledge regarding my situation.

My time with Michael was amazing. He is a great man with a kind heart.
Mike has helped me through a very challenging time in my life. He has been kind, supportive, and encouraging, all while challenging my negative thought patterns. I am truly grateful for Mike's help and would strongly recommend him to someone dealing with a breakup, loss, guilt, grief, as I have. Thanks Mike!
He is a great person and is so easy to talk to him. My kid has been feeling super sad and lost but is so easy for him to talk to Michael because he makes him feel comfortable. I am very happy with the decision of having him to help us.

All the good traits a therapist needs to have
Michael is an amazing therapist. He strikes a perfect balance of listening, interpreting concerns and dilemmas, and offering up relevant and targeted information. Michael is thoughtful and deliberate with the advice he shares. He creates a safe space to be honest and vulnerable. His wisdom has helped me through some especially difficult times, and has helped me gain the perspective I need to persevere…and thrive. Our sessions have added meaning to my life. I am truly grateful for Michael.
A tremendous help, Michael's caring disposition was on point and sincere with every session. I feel privileged and thankful to have had him as my therapist.
Michael is an excellent therapist. He is able to speak to my specific concerns with ease and is very personable and enjoyable to speak to
Michael has been open and willing to meet my needs and expectations.
Your small tips on weekly bases have elevated my life and have given me better results in my personal and professional pursuits more than ever, thank you!
outstanding therapist, without a doubt. Always on time, friendly, attentive, and willing to help you become a better person overall by offering real-world, doable solutions. His sessions have completely changed the course of my life. I'm grateful, Michael.
Related well with me. Recalled and circled back to previous session.
Michael is great! He is incredibly polite, respectful and personable. I can feel that he truly cares and he has assisted me immensely during this time.
This is the personal communication I’ve needed. I was kind of too proud to try therapy. I didn’t want to believe that I couldn’t fix my problems on my own. Talking with Michael had been a great help to me because it makes me accountable for the decisions I make and he knows the right way to work on the issues I’m facing! It’s very good to talk to a knowledgeable professional instead of just trying to figure things out for my own. Michael is a good man and he cares for his patients. I would definitely recommend!
No matter how he finds me, he leaves me a better person.
He understands what in going through and he has really good pointers that help
Verey helpful, listens and gives great advice
He has become like a father figure to me, I struggled with traumas and flashbacks of abuse; but I thanks to him now understand that not all men are violent; they can be understanding and attentive.
Quick understanding of the situation and needs. I would recommend this therapist to everyone who feel like they lost touch with their personal goals. Truly grounding.
Michael has been very kind and understanding.
I would recommend him to anyone.
Prepared with techniques for me every week and goals
Mike is one of the most compassionate, empathetic, yet composed therapist I’ve ever worked with. He has so much wisdom, and draws on own experiences to relate to his patients/clients. Always a pleasure to speak with him!
Mike has been an amazing therapist for me. Timing has always been flexible, he has always given me the attention I needed, and always supported me in every aspect
Michael was lovely to talk to, very understanding and not judgemental - made me feel amazing about myself and helped me to learn how to continue through hard times!
Great person! Good advice! Very chilled out, so that the session is very relaxing.
Mike is very supportive and honest.he is considerate and has great sense of humour
Michael has supplied some great tools for day to day use for anxiety and stress to help better navigate through life
I really enjoyed our first session, I am looking forward to ongoing help. I felt immediately more confident in my current situation after our session!
Michael is by far the best therapist I've ever had. Even though, I was a bit reserved with him in the beginning - I stuck with the therapy and it paid off.
I can hear actually still hear his suggestions in my mind and have found practical ways to incorporate his strategies into my life. He always was reassuring and forgiving even though I struggled to fulfill the tasks. But I think I can imagine that doing the worksheets he suggested would have been certainly helpful! That being said, as a good student, I took notes and tried my best to follow through.
Takeaways:
Mindfulness
Focused Breathing
Going to your 'happy place'
Making your environment as pleasurable as possible (especially for difficult tasks, conversations or situations)
ex. the 5 senses - nice smells, sounds, visuals
Lowering your expectations
Set goals of 3-5 tasks for a week (not 10 for every day)
Getting outside and away from distractions
Beyond this, I have really found that him to be a gentleman. Always professional, never condescending. This intelligent yet unpretentious quality is absolute gold.
I will return for his support in the near future, should I need it!
Michael was amazing. He gave me the skills I needed to manage my anxiety and enlightened me on other habits that I was struggling with that I wasn’t aware of. After my 4 sessions with Michael I feel I’m walking away with the tools I need to manage and improve my day to day anxieties. Thanks Michael!
Michael was great, I felt like he really put the time and effort into understanding my issues and then gave great advice on fixing them.
Michael is the best. Immediately jumps into solutions as to how we can improve our lives, he also listens well and gives great advice.
Focuses on practical methods of helping me get better which is really helpful while listening carefully to all my concerns.
Michael is a wonderful counselor and therapist, unfailingly respectful, patient, empathetic, and kind. He brings an impressive (and flexible) array of qualifications, knowledge, techniques/approaches and experience to bear on every session, and responds to the unique issues and needs of the client with openness and sensitivity. I could not recommend him more highly!
