Michael Skrodzki MA MFT

Introduction: I believe humans change and develop throughout their life span. In some twenty years of practicing psychotherapy, I have come to view the most emotional symptoms and all relationship crises as opportunities to re-engage and support aspects of self-development. I was educated in the US and Germany; my professional experience ranges from work in very traditional clinical settings to being a therapist and group facilitator for staff at the Esalen Institute. I have received extensive training in psychodynamic-developmental, family systems, Gestalt, cognitive, and somatic modalities of psychotherapy, and I will apply "tools of these trades" and insights in our work together, as appropriate. My approach is sensitive, empathic and respectful, but also direct and straightforward. As you start to discover and tell me about yourself, I will not hesitate to provide you my honest feedback. And if you happen to have misplaced your sense of humor, I’ll help you get it back.
