Michael Ryan HainesMarriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

About

Being a LMFT means to me that the focus of treatment is to improve relationships. I believe the most important relationship in a persons life is the relationship they have with themselves. In my experience people often treat others much better than they treat themselves. I enjoy going on a therapeutic journey with people to help find themselves, to find that compassion that they give to others and to learn that they too deserve that same love and compassion. I like to use art as a way of expression (when needed) with my clients because I believe that art can communicate what words sometimes cannot. View 9 Photos I have a BA in Biological sciences(UConn) and a MS in MFT(CCSU). This combination of art and science allows me to help people using two unique lenses. I saw families in outpatient clinics which served a very diverse population. As part of the Ana Grace Project I was embedded in 3 schools and a behavioral school to see clients from grades K-12.
