I specialize in anger, relationships, communication, substance abuse, and compulsions. I believe changing in small ways can hugely impact your life and affect your happiness. Also, because I believe all sorts of relationships can bring fulfillment and joy, I am neither for nor against marriage.  

As a fat, sex positive therapist: I am committed to expanding the safety and autonomy for all folks, in all bodies, of all genders and identities. I specialize in working with neurodivergent folks and highly sensative people.  

As a mental health therapist, I am dedicated to empowering women as they navigate the diverse stages of life. I create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and develop practical coping strategies.

My goal is to guide and inspire my clients to overcome challenges, embrace personal growth, and lead fulfilling, empowered lives.  

As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I bring a diverse array of therapeutic techniques to each session. Those who know me would say that my style is generally laid back, but I'm also willing to gently challenge my clients in a constructive way when it benefits them. I have a pragmatic approach toward helping you and I actively engage rather than remain silent during sessions.  

My practice strives to understand the individual and provide research-based assessments and treatment that is tailored to the unique needs of the client(s). Whether it is ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, or family attachment difficulties, I am dedicated to offer services that will enhance strengths while working with clients to reduce the impact of symptoms on their overall functioning.  

While I am compassionate and sensitive to emotion, it is my firm belief that the road to happiness is paved with hard work, dedication to rational thought, acknowledgement of our strengths and weaknesses, and a determination to endure short term pain as the price for long term peace and joy.  

You were never meant to carry this pain alone. If trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD (CPTSD), flashbacks, or nightmares are keeping you stuck in survival mode, you are not weak and you are not broken.

Together, we can use trauma therapy and EMDR to help you move beyond fear, release the weight of the past, and create the life you have longed for. 📞 Reach out today to begin your trauma recovery journey.

With over 15 years of experience, I help adults, teens, and couples/families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, honest, and tailored to your unique goals. If you’re ready to feel more in control, more confident, and more like yourself again — let’s talk. I'm here for you.  

Psychotherapy (or counseling) is talking with a trained professional about your fears, concerns, behaviors, desires and dreams. My goal is to help you better understand yourself. You may seek treatment with me because you have been given a specific mental health diagnosis. Or you may seek treatment because you would like help dealing with a specific challenge such as job dissatisfaction or difficulty finding a partner. During a psychotherapy session, you will learn more about your behaviors, your thoughts and your feelings. Psychotherapy allows you to understand and take control of your life through new knowledge and coping skills.

I am a trauma therapist who works with queer & trans communities; sex workers, poly / ENM, kink / BDSM communities, neurodiverse and disabled communities; and substance users. My approach is informed by my shared identities and experiences with these communities. I work with survivors of Intimate Partner Violence; childhood and adult sexual violence; attachment and complex trauma; hate violence; and police, state, and institutional violence.  

I work with high achieving women, caregivers, and helping professionals who are used to being the one who holds everything together. They anticipate needs, take responsibility for other people’s emotions, and say yes when they mean no. They push through when they are depleted and keep going long after their capacity is gone. For a long time, this worked. It earned success, stability, and connection. Until it didn’t. Most clients come to me when burnout has turned into resentment. When relationships feel one sided. When the emotional load becomes impossible to ignore. This is not an individual failure. These patterns are often shaped by early roles, expectations, and environments that rewarded overfunctioning and self sacrifice. In our work together, we focus on identifying these patterns, understanding what is actually yours to carry, and building the capacity to do less without collapsing into guilt or anxiety. This is not about becoming a different person. It is about creating a life that feels sustainable, reciprocal, and aligned. If you are waiting until things calm down or get worse before reaching out, that waiting is part of the pattern. You do not have to keep doing this.  

When you lose the little self, you find the bigger Self. You are the Light Who shines through the eyes: You are Ancient, Eternal, Infinite, One, and Unchanging Light. My job is to help you step out of the little self (the flesh-and-blood self), which is experiencing the pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and into Who You really are. As a result, you will gain observer consciousness, which offers freedom, healing, transformation, and ultimately awakening.  

Life is too often a roller coaster ride. Relationships often leave us feeling tired, frustrated, and confused. If that's where you find yourself - call me. We will work together and we will exhale together. You will regain your confidence and your joy.

So, you're looking to start therapy? You've probably held it all together for a long time, and finally reached a breaking point. Maybe you're struggling to perform at work, your relationships are really tense, friendships feel empty and shallow, or you're not able to enjoy the things you used to. It’s time to deal with that. You don't have to be miserable, and you don't have to keep hitting dead-ends trying to get what you want. Therapy can help you figure out what's not working, and learn what actually does work. You can have fulfilling relationships and a sense of meaning and purpose, you just have to be willing to show up.  

Hey there! I’m Mike Strand, an experienced psychologist with over 15 years of dedication to guiding individuals on their journey of self-improvement. My expertise lies in helping clients overcome emotional challenges to enhance personal growth and strengthen relationships. I recognize that seeking support can be difficult, which is why I will strive to make therapy as welcoming and approachable as possible. Our sessions are collaborative, tailored to your specific needs, facilitating deep and lasting transformation.  

Before I was a therapist I was a client just like yourself. I struggled with many issues over the years and overcome most of them since becoming a therapist. Because of this I find that I usually have personal experience with at least an aspect of what my client is dealing with. My clients generally find me to be compassionate, knowledgeable, non-judge mental, and easy to connect with.  

I am a passionate and grateful clinician as I am afforded the opportunity to journey alongside incredible individuals during trying times in their life. Holding space, honoring stories, identifying and challenging maladaptive thoughts all while being informed on a client's nervous system activation is a true honor for me. I work from a holistic approach and often find that the way the body breaks down is the roadmap back to functionality. Our bodies speak and lead us and when we spend time listening, we are best able to reach out truest and most authentic self and needs. Sometimes we just need an intentional and thoughtful nervous system anchor as we may our way back up to thriving.
