About me
I have about twenty years work experience in the field of mental health services, I have worked as an adult case manager in community support services. I have also been an intake specialist; but the one area I have found the most rewarding is working as a mental health counselor. I enjoy working with people in helping them to see issues and problems from different perspectives and helping them to make better choices that will help them with feeling better about themselves and to overcome their personal problems.
I hold advanced degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. From my education and work experience, I have found CBT and positive center approaches along with solution based therapy to be effective in helping clients to become more mindful along with helping them to build coping skills that they can utilize to help them to be more empowered in making healthy decisions in their lives.

Mike McGaugh has been nothing but a professional and a scholar since I met him months ago
He’s the first person in my 20 years of life that told me the things I needed to hear
Mike McGaugh is the man you would want to comfort when you’re at your lowest
My only regret is missing today’s session because I know I would’ve gained something from it

I've been seeing Prof. McGaugh for several weeks now and I can already tell that he's going to be a major help to me. He is incredibly easy to talk with and I always look towards our sessions.

This is the first time I’m doing therapy, I was concerned about how much comfortable I would feel exposing myself, I didn’t really know how therapy works, but Prof. McGaugh made it very easy and smooth, I’m comfortable to share anything that goes on my mind, and his inputs are very straight to the point. I’ve only had a few sessions so far, Prof. McGaugh introduced to a couple of practices and methods that I started to apply and benefit from, which all makes me feel confident in his experience and I would like to continue to attend more sessions with him for the coming period.

I have been in therapy with Professor McGaugh for several months now and the help he has given me has been invaluable. With his support and guidance I have been able to understand the different aspects of the particular problems I face and therefore the best ways to get through them. He is patient, compassionate and very easy to talk to. Many thanks for all.
