About Michael Tidstrand

I specialize in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating a spectrum of mental health challenges. Drawing from both professional training and personal experiences, I understand the complexities of these struggles firsthand. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental and empathetic environment where they can freely express themselves without fear of stigma or shame. My approach is rooted in creating a secure space where clients feel heard and valued. As a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, I prioritize active listening, curiosity, and reflection. By employing techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy, I help clients explore the intricate connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My goal is to empower clients on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying reasons behind presenting issues, fostering meaningful insights and personal growth. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to support you in your path towards a more fulfilling life.

“Great listener, patient with you, pays attention, and responds at just the right time. Can't wait for my next session!”

“Great listener, always responds in a timely manner, offers many forms of advice and has a great way of understand and connecting with you even through texts. I’m new to therapeutic stuff and I’m not at all the best patient but he understand that and knows how to check in and support me even if I don’t feel like I’m supporting myself, overall I’d say he’s a great therapist and a great person.”
