Michael BleaClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to effective therapy. Creating a safe and respectful space enables us to build trust and set realistic, achievable goals together. Drawing from my experience and training, I help clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence and intention. Sessions are conversational, collaborative, and focused on real-life application — not just talking, but making progress you can feel outside the therapy room. I combine clinical training with a real-world understanding of the pressures that adults and couples face today. My focus is strengths-based with an emphasis on how our critical relationships impact our thinking and actions. I also believe the trust relationship between therapist and client is paramount to achieving desired outcomes. I will leverage my experience and education to support clients in a safe, secure place and work together to set realistic objectives.
