About Michael Wilson

Thank you for reading my counselor profile. I have been a licensed (LPC) and certified (CRC) counselor for about 30 years. I have experience in a variety of rehabilitation and mental health settings. This clinical background has given me the opportunity to assist a diverse group of individuals with many different life issues. Fortunately, I have able to work with both younger and older adults throughout my career.

My general counseling style is client centered. The tools I use are drawn from an eclectic group of counseling theories, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. Of course, expertise and a solid theoretical base are important in effectively helping others, but every individual is unique. Therefore, everyone who seeks counseling has unique issues and deserves individualized assistance. No one is their “diagnosis” or “disability”. The client is the expert on him or herself.

Change can be difficult. My contribution, as a guide and partner, is to really listen, care, and share what has worked for others in situations similar to yours. Then, together, we can develop realistic goals leading to a better future.
