About Michael
He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical problem solving. Sessions are built around what each person needs, not a one-size-fits-all script. His approach includes listening closely, reflecting what he hears, and offering strategies to reduce intense emotions and improve daily functioning.
Dr. Black blends several therapy approaches to match the person in front of him. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also brings emotionally focused and client-centered perspectives to deepen connection and self-understanding.
Over two decades he has helped clients with a wide range of concerns, from coping with caregiving stress to navigating divorce and blended family issues. He also supports people dealing with workplace stress, career decisions, and intimacy or commitment questions.
He treats people with respect and compassion, and he works with each person to tailor the plan to their goals. If you want a therapist who combines practical tools with attention to relationships and meaning, he may be a good fit.
