Good day and allow me to introduce myself. My name is Michael H. Feldler, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a trained individual, family, group, trauma, and addiction specialist. I have over thirty-four years of experience working with children, adults, and family's in a variety of settings. In addition to my clinical training, I have worked for the past fourteen years as an instructor and supervisor to students on both an undergraduate and graduate level in a college based mental health training clinic. I am skilled in psychodynamic, client-centered, REBT, CBT, DBT, inter-relational, motivational, and family modalities. I believe in the importance of listening to what is being said, recognizing the relevance of motivation towards healing, and providing a safe and secure space to relate both thoughts and feelings. I am a trained group therapist, skilled in teaching as well as conducting sessions for individuals with trauma, addiction, and identified as a sex offender. Often times what brings you into treatment or therapy is just the tip of the iceberg and with exploration we can work on both the direct causes as well as the underlying measures towards health and personal growth. The essence of life is to feel complete, reduce loneliness, and isolation, and ultimately minimize those influences that prevent us from being "the person(s) we want to be." I look forward to hearing from you, establishing a positive and secure relationship and working on what brings you to a helping environment.

If you're feeling stuck, finding yourself repeating the same patterns, or you've been in therapy before but aren't quite sure how to apply what you've learned in everyday life, you're not alone. I offer direct, compassionate therapy that helps turn insight into meaningful, real-world change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I work best with people who are motivated for change and ready to move beyond awareness alone. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions to create lasting change. I especially enjoy working with high achievers, perfectionists, and individuals who are ready to translate insight into action. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota, Virginia, and New York with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dartmouth College and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and Experiential Play Therapy. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space while remaining honest, direct, and solution-focused. I use a holistic, integrative approach that blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to support the whole person. One of my primary modalities is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. The goal is not simply to feel better during therapy sessions, but to build the skills and confidence needed to continue supporting yourself long after therapy has ended. My style tends to be more direct and solution-oriented than that of some therapists. I ask thought-provoking questions, provide honest feedback, challenge unhelpful patterns, and encourage you to actively engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy works best when we work together, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action. Clients often seek my support for: • Anxiety and stress management • Depression and mood concerns • Childhood trauma and adverse experiences • Life transitions and adjustment difficulties • Low self-esteem and self-worth concerns • Codependency and people-pleasing patterns • Attachment and relationship challenges • Anger management • Grief and loss • Sleep difficulties Treatment is always tailored to your unique goals, values, and circumstances—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Please note that I do not treat ADHD, eating disorders, or personality disorders. If you're motivated for change, willing to do the work, and looking for a therapist who will both support and challenge you, we may be a good fit!

I am a Bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. I grew up in Bronx, New York and was raised, along with my siblings and a host of extended relatives, by my Honduran parents. Growing up in an immigrant and blended family, including becoming a teen mother and experiencing the effects of my parents’ divorce, has influenced my decision to become a therapist to help people who are experiencing distress, life transitions, and systemic challenges. I have dedicated my life to destigmatizing mental health and creating a safe space for people to be seen, understood, and feel less alone. I provide individual, couple, and family therapy for people of all walks of life. Most of my clients present to therapy seeking support to address issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship stressors, grief, pregnancy loss, and adjustment to life transitions. Therapy is an effective way to work through unexpected life challenges that can catch us by surprise, roadblocks that can keep us stuck or get in our own way, learn about our past, understand our patterns, our development, and learn new healthy coping skills to help us manage our emotions and live more fulfilling and rewarding lives. I believe change happens when life’s circumstances place a demand on us to shift (i.e., the death of a loved one, loss of employment, divorce, etc.) from one chapter to a new chapter in our lives. Change happens when we accept that change is inevitable, and it is part of the cycle of life. Change occurs when we are open to learning something new that will enhance our quality of life mentally and emotionally, and enable us to become a better version of ourselves.
