Hearts and Minds Health was created with the goal of optimizing your mental health through improved understanding and harmony between your cognitive and emotional states. The "heart" of HM Health relates to cultivating emotional well-being. For some, that's about being able to manage strong feelings. For others, it’s identifying and expressing emotions more clearly. Healing from a break-up, loss, or a painful past also involves heart-based work. In contrast, mental challenges like anxiety, negative self-talk, and avoidance may call for mind-based strategies. Michael also employs body-awareness, mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help anchor our thinking and feeling selves more fully in the body.
The first step is listening – learning why you’re here, outlining your goals for improvement, and envisioning a path forward. Michael has extensive experience helping adolescents and adults work through such challenges as anxiety, depression and lack of fulfillment, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, emotional regulation, boundary-setting, grief and loss, gender identity and sexual orientation, spiritual struggles, interpersonal relationships, and difficult transitions.
