Michael Beltrano

My communication style

My communication style is transparent and collaborative. I work closely with clients' needs and feedback to create an open, understanding, and warm environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

The path to becoming a therapist was a long one. I wanted to be an elementary school teacher, but I thought I could have a bigger impact on children and families by becoming a counselor. I went to graduate school for counseling/marriage, and family therapy. Seeing the resilience and courage in clients in the work they are willing to do.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting through close collaboration with you. Goals are built naturally through conversation with a focus on making them specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-based where possible.

Our first session

You can expect foundation building in the first session. This includes intake questions, setting preliminary goals, discussing hopes for treatment, reviewing expectations and confidentiality, and answering any questions you have.

I identify as...
