About Michael Wade, MSW, RSW
I have experience helping clients with issues related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotion regulation, issues with their relationship(s), social isolation, gender and sexual identity, loss, and trauma. In my work, I seek to help clients integrate themselves using a strengths-based, holistic perspective, seeking to facilitate a better understanding of how environmental, social, and cultural factors contribute to their individual problems and chosen responses. By employing this integrative approach to therapy, I find it better assists clients in making positive and lasting changes within all spheres of their lives.

Therapeutic Ideology
I have been consistently reminded of the strength and resiliency every client possesses who finally chooses to seek help, and to find change. In my work with clients, I seek to build a safe, and non-judgmental space, and collaboratively explore and navigate the difficult emotions and experiences that they face in their day-to-day.
