Michael RootmanClinical Social Work/Therapist, LISW, MS

About

I work well with people who feel like they are cycling through repeating patterns in their life, particularly in relationships with their family, at work, or in relationship with their Self. My clients are insightful and brave. They tend to need gentle encouragement to see things slightly differently and develop more security. I use a combination of different types of therapies and techniques, depending on the particular problems someone is struggling with. These techniques help people establish boundaries in their families, behavioral change for harmful habits and addictions, and assertive communication skills. I employ mindfulness and meditation to help clients cultivate emotional tolerance and feelings of wellbeing. I am also trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy for emotional conflict, relationship problems, and long term personality issues. I offer parent coaching to help navigate the unique challenges that parents are facing today.
