You can be holding it together and still want things to change.
Maybe you shut down in difficult conversations. Maybe trust feels hard, or old experiences keep affecting the relationships you care about.
My work focuses on men’s trauma, from childhood experiences through present-day relationship issues, communication and rebuilding trust. There is room to understand what happened—and work on what you want to do next.
You don’t have to arrive with the right words or tell your whole story at once.
What “progress” can mean
Practical, solutions-focused workUnderstand the pattern
Look at what happens before you shut down, pull away or get caught in the same conflict. Make sense of how past experiences may be affecting the present.
Choose a next step
Work toward something specific: expressing a need, noticing a reaction sooner, or approaching a difficult conversation differently.
Review what changes
Talk about what helps, what gets in the way and what to adjust. These are possible goals we can work toward together; your pace and results will be individual.

Before your first session
What happens in the first session?
We’ll talk about what brings you here, what you want to change and what is happening in your life now. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and possible next steps. You can also ask questions about the approach and whether it feels like a fit.
Do I have to talk about trauma right away?
No. You don’t need to tell your whole story in the first conversation. We can discuss what feels manageable and work at a pace we agree on together.
What does therapy cost?
New direct self-pay sessions are $150 for 50 minutes. We’ll discuss session frequency based on your needs and availability so you can consider the recurring cost before committing. If you want to use insurance, check your plan and location through my Headway profile before booking. Your cost depends on your plan and eligibility.
Can I request therapy without a consultation?
Yes. Choose “Psychotherapy, 50mins” in the portal to request a therapy session. If you prefer an initial conversation, choose “Initial Consultation,” which is listed as 15 minutes. Requests are reviewed before an appointment is confirmed.
Where can I attend online sessions?
Michael is licensed in New York, Colorado and Connecticut. Eligibility depends on your physical location when you attend and is confirmed before scheduling.
