Michael Grimes

My communication style

I communicate in a positive, collaborative, and rapport-focused way, aiming to create a space that feels comfortable, safe, and productive for working together. If at any point you would like me to adjust my communication style—whether that means being more direct, more concise, or more exploratory—I welcome that feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work is grounded in the belief that people are resilient and the experts of their own lives. My background in medical social work, especially in crisis settings, shaped my compassionate, collaborative approach. I focus on guiding—not directing—clients as they build insight, confidence, and tools for meaningful, lasting change.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, solution-focused, and insight-based. I help clients identify and prioritize short- and long-term goals aligned with their values. Together, we break goals into manageable steps, building clarity, confidence, self-awareness, and practical skills for meaningful, sustainable change.

Our first session

Your first session is a welcoming introduction to the therapeutic process. We’ll get to know each other, explore what you hope to gain from therapy, and discuss your experiences, values, and priorities. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and readiness for change to support meaningful, client-centered work.
