About Michael Atkinson, LPCC

Michael specializes in working with men. He believes deeply in every man’s capacity to grow, repair, and live more fully. He provides a supportive, authentic, and collaborative environment where men can better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and develop practical tools that help them move forward with greater purpose, resilience, and connection.

A hallmark of Michael’s work is his passion for making therapy more welcoming, engaging, and empowering for men—especially those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, burnout, low self-esteem, or significant life transitions. His down-to-earth style, practical mindset, and genuine curiosity help men discover new perspectives, strengthen existing skills, and develop meaningful strategies they can continue using long after the therapy process has ended.

Michael takes an integrative, person-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each man’s unique needs, strengths, values, and goals. His work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and mindfulness and contemplative traditions that encourage men to take a more active, intentional, and self-compassionate role in supporting their mental health.
