Greetings, Its my guess that I have as much experience as any counselor alive today. Counseling is one of the most common & natural things that people do with each other. Counseling goes on almost all the time. Wherever humans are, there is counseling going on. In fact, more people need to counsel more people for a saner world. Everyday counseling is useful, but for more intricate & difficult problems, people need counseling from someone who is experienced and capable of navigating clarity out of confusion. My success in helping other is born of focus in three areas. I've taught Psychology since age 24 (until presently), I have engaged in clinical counseling since I was 30 and I have a legal background (Law School & Law Clerk) since age 33. I have been the director of several Behavioral Health & Substance Abuse clinics. I've specialized in treating sex offenders and anger management programs. I've been a devoted to Rational-Emotive Therapy (and its variations), however I long ago characterized my clinical philosophy as an Existentialist. I practice brief therapy techniques that does not waist time or money. Thank you for your consideration. Prof. Michael A. Davis, BCPC,LPC

I am a professional counselor in New Jersey with over 24 years of experience in the field of counseling, but I have been a therapist for a little over five years. I don't have any particular group that I prefer to work with. I work with children as well as adults. I believe therapy is a combination of techniques that focus on positive interventions, such as Mindfulness therapy and expressive arts therapy, as well as serious and in-depth processing of trauma. For the trauma, I like to use Cognitive processing therapy. For anxiety and depression, cognitive behavioral interventions are used as well. With children, I use play therapy and encourage drawing and other creative methods of expression to help them with difficult emotions. With the help of parents, interventions that also educate them could be suggested. Homework could be assigned to help them to form creative habits, such as drawing and/or coloring, to learn positive copings skills. Everything I do, I do with passion. I am very interested in finding out how I might be able to help you using the toolbox of interventions that make sense to me! I am creative, open-minded and like to integrate interventions that not only teach you what I am doing but help you to cope with the problematic emotions.
