About Me

I am a temporary licensed mental health counselor specializing in supporting adult individuals who are looking for a healthy way to navigate through the challenges that are weighing you down.

My background in both business ownership and leadership has shaped a practical, grounded approach to therapy, while my passion for emotional healing creates a space where real transformation can happen. You’ll find a warm, supportive environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.

My Approach

Many of my clients come to me feeling “stuck” emotionally or mentally - caught in patterns they can’t quite name, weighed down by self-doubt, or unsure how to move forward despite wanting things to change.

I believe getting “unstuck” happens when you feel truly heard - not just as a client, but as a whole person. Being able to talk about challenges in an open, non-judgmental, compassionate, and safe environment and having an empathetic ear can help you begin your healing process. In our work together, you bring your lived experience, your questions, your pain, your hopes, and I provide a grounded space, curiosity, respectful challenging, and the tools to help you make sense of it all.

Therapy with me is a partnership. We walk the path together, at your pace, with your voice leading the way to rewrite your story, reclaim your sense of self, and move toward deeper self-understanding and lasting change. Whether you’re navigating a new chapter, rebuilding after loss, or striving for balance, I’m here to guide you toward clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

About me:

I am an LPC-MHSP specializing in working with individuals of any age who are struggling with feeling unheard, misunderstood, and alone. My background in studio art gives me a unique perspective in my approach to counseling. To me, there’s no such thing as “bad art.” Every original art piece is a unique expression of thought, emotion, and experience. Every art piece has its own story to tell, and that’s what makes it valuable. I believe people are the same way! We are all precious and irreplaceable creations. My job is to help you see the beauty in yourself that you may have lost sight of along your path.

My Approach:

Many times, having a safe and affirming place to talk about what’s going on provides the clarity needed to move forward. I believe that when people feel heard, valued, and understood, they bloom. We all possess tools for survival that we already use- that’s why we’ve survived! I aim to familiarize you with the tools that you have and give you some additional ones to work with as well.

About

With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Michael Stravato brings deep clinical wisdom, steadiness, and compassion to his work with clients. He earned his Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Northeast Louisiana University in 1996 and completed his undergraduate studies at Lee University in Cleveland, TN, with degrees in Pastoral Studies and Psychology in 1994. His unique blend of clinical training, pastoral foundation, and decades of experience allows him to meet clients with both skill and empathy.

My Approach

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addiction, trauma, and major life transitions. I am particularly drawn to supporting individuals in crisis and those walking through some of life’s darkest seasons—including serious illness, legal stress, death, trauma, and what many describe as “dark nights of the soul.”

A core theme of my work is helping clients explore meaning in the midst of suffering. I gently guide clients to reflect on their own values and belief systems—whatever those may be—to help them make sense of what they are going through and reclaim their inner strength.

Drawing from logotherapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered work, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, I tailor my approach to meet each client exactly where they are.

I consider myself to be an inclusive Christian counselor; I honor clients’ faith backgrounds while never imposing beliefs. I see spirituality as a personal resource that can be integrated into therapy when clients desire, always with respect, openness, and care.

I love the study of people—what motivates change, how humans grow, and how resilience is born through hardship. I consider it a true privilege to walk alongside clients during their most difficult moments and help them move toward healing, clarity, and renewed purpose.

About Me

Trained in both clinical mental health and marriage and family therapy, I have been a counselor for almost two decades. I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including an inpatient psychiatric hospital, a therapeutic day treatment facility, and several outpatient clinics.

What drew me to this work initially was watching several family members struggle with mental health issues when I was younger. As I got older, I discovered I had a knack for empathetic listening and perspective-taking, and I decided to become a therapist.

I’m a passionate advocate for accessible, affordable mental health care for all, and my lobbying efforts have taken me all the way to Congressional offices in Washington D.C.

Who I Help

Many of my adolescent and adult clients come to me saying they feel confused and defeated by life’s circumstances, and they cannot seem to move forward, despite many earnest attempts.

They may feel isolated or abandoned, believing no one can understand their loneliness and often-hidden pain. They report strained relationships and broken hearts. Some have never seen a therapist before, and many wonder whether counseling can really make a difference.

As a narrative therapist, I believe it’s easy for people to get “stuck” in personal, relational, and societal stories about themselves that might not actually be true. In our sessions, we explore the impact of these stories and how clients can activate their innate strengths and abilities to “re-write” difficult experiences as a pathway to emotional restoration and empowered living.

My Approach

My approach to therapy is person-centered and highly collaborative. Even though I have years of education and experience as a counselor, I firmly believe that each client is the expert in their own life.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is open, nonjudgmental, thought-provoking, and sometimes surprisingly fun. My clients often say I have a warm, calming presence and that I’m easy to talk to, even about the hardest things.
