Professional statement
Mike is not going to bullshit you, proper therapy is hard work.
The work Mike and you will do together will be intense. Expectations will be set from session one about what you want to accomplish through treatment. Mike will hold you accountable, but in a empathetic and caring way. Don't mistake the tone here as Mike being an asshole. Mike has been described by his patients as "Invested, when I speak to him during sessions I can see how engaged and active he is to help me"
Mike's patients have also described him as "Blunt, but compassionate. You can tell he cares and that allows him to challenge and push me to be a better version of myself"
Mike understands that his approach isn't for everyone, but if you are looking for an engaged therapist who will actively encourage you to tackle your problems while providing invaluable support along every step of the journey, he might very well be the right therapist for you.
Mike Amory is an LMSW currently working under supervision as he works toward his LCSW license. He has over two years of clinical experience working with a variety of clients from different gender, racial, age and other demographic backgrounds. Most of his clients tend to be in their early 20s to mid 30s.
Mike has been published in a number of outlets writing about mental health issues, including Polygon, Insider and Simple Practice.
