Dr. Mike – Owner, Licensed Psychologist
Counseling for you
Do you struggle with relationship or marital issues? Anxiety? Communication? Life Transitions?
Counseling can help you better understand these struggles and find ways to improve so you can enjoy a happier, healthier life.
Have you avoided counseling in the past or had previous experiences that were not enjoyable?
At INC Therapy, I will provide you with a different therapy experience. An experience where your therapist answers the phone or calls back within the day. Where new sessions can be scheduled within the week. You will work with an experienced therapist who can keep up with you intellectually and challenge you when needed.
At this small, self-pay practice, appointments are billed per session rather than per hour, allowing me to focus on your needs rather than the clock. Flexible scheduling and evening appointments are offered when needed. All of which is designed to make your therapy experience efficient and effective.
Treating a large variety of issues while specializing in:
- Couples or marriage therapy
- Anxiety management
- Communication skills and relationship concerns
- Personal growth or career development
Counseling in Colorado Springs and Beyond
Located in Colorado Springs, CO, Individual and Couples Therapy offers in-person appointments or virtual appointments, even if you live outside of Colorado. I offer flexible scheduling and devoted time to ensure that you get the support you need to address your concerns or improve your relationships.
I work with adults of any age (no children/minors). Working professionals and executives appreciate my intellect and insight. Aging adults note how relatable and comforting I am in session. Young adults benefit from years of experience in university counseling. Family members remark on my ability to connect across generations.
My approach is rooted in warmth, deep-listening, and connection, allowing me to help you understand your experiences through a different lens. Unlike many therapists who only engage in active listening, providing little more than the occasional “uh-huh”, I will share my ideas and challenge you to look beyond the surface to gain a deeper understanding of what is going on and how to move forward.
Time is precious, which is why an integrative interpersonal approach to therapy is most often utilized. This approach enables me to address your specific concerns and dive straight into the heart of the matter. Unlike other counselors who explore irrelevant aspects of your past or use manualized treatments, at INC Therapy, services are tailored to meet your unique needs.
Counseling and Therapy?
While these terms are sometimes used to mean the same thing, therapy can be a different experience than counseling. In therapy, the aim is to delve deep to better understand your personality and create lasting change. Counseling tends to be focused on addressing specific or acute concerns and is often time limited. Both are offered at INC Therapy where your needs and goals can help determine the most effective approach.
