Michael Reed

I am a licensed mental health therapist with 16 years of clinical experience working with adults and teenagers, with advanced training and extensive experience in the areas of anxiety and depressive disorders more broadly, but OCD more specifically as well as having done a great deal of work with the LGBTQ population with a particular focus on supporting trans youth. Along with this, I also have a great deal of expertise in working with those who have experienced religious trauma, are leaving high-control religions and dealing with the emotional difficulties of losing a faith structure and community.

I incorporate a number of therapeutic interventions including CBT and DBT and enjoy working with individuals who are motivated, engaged and open to the process of cultivating a therapeutic rapport, feeling supported and also challenged.

Within my practice, I endeavor to meet each new client where they are. I approach therapy as a collaboration between myself and the individual, using humor and empathy to build rapport and to ensure that the process is emotionally safe and focused on meeting your particular needs toward improving your emotional health, whatever those may be.

If you feel that this may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out to set up an initial consult. I approach every individual with acceptance, free of judgment and would enjoy the opportunity to see if you feel we may be a good fit as a healthy therapeutic alliance is critical to the process. I look forward to hearing from you.
