I am an eclectic therapist working to provide a space where conversation can flow and hope can thus be rediscovered. My scope of treatment is vast and my work has taken me into all different kinds of experiences. Ive worked with just about anything you can think of and enjoy the opportunity to learn from my clients and see what more I can offer.
I completed graduate education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and also taught Psychology on the college level. Ive been a part of numerous trainings and certifications and specialize in helping people get unstuck, finding new ways of dealing with things in their lives and finding a way to process the nuances of theirs lives and find healing.
The opportunity to come alongside my clients and offer intentional and creative care is one of my greatest joys. Watching people transform and have ‘ah ha’ moments in the midst of challenging or even truamatic situations is a gift. In therapy I take a collaborative approach to working with my clients. You are the expert on your life and in that I get to offer my expertise to help you make sense of it.

I have not spent a huge amount of time with Michael, but in the discussions we have, he is very open to listening to what I want to focus on and really tries to figure out the best ways to approach my issues. I believe this is an extremely important thing for any counselor to do and I greatly appreciate Michael's thoroughness.

I am very satisfied with experience with Michael Brakett. It is my second experience with a counselor, and I used to work in a small counseling company, so I have something to compare with. Michael is very supportive, always answers in timely manner and would ask me if everything alright and if he's actions help me, if he doesn't get an answer from me after few days. I respect his professionalism, I receive very deep and informative messages from him. It feels like he cares about me and he knows, what he is doing.
