Don't let the title fool you to think LMFTs only work with marriages/couples or families.  Licensed MFTs provide psychotherapy to help and support people through individualized counseling (one-on-one), couples counseling, parenting, and family therapy.  Mike tends to highly focus on counseling with tween/teen boys ages 12 and up, men, couples, parents, and military/veterans/first-responders.

A Licensed MFT is a psychotherapist who has received a Masters degree from an accredited school, gained at least 3,000 supervised hours of counseling, and passed two licensure exams to become licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences through the State of California. Mike is an LMFT working working alongside other LMFT colleagues.  This can provide more "bang for your buck" as he is able to easily consult with and pull from the experience of other therapists' education, therapy experience, and training in addition to his own.

Along the way toward his licensure, Mike provided care-counseling through faith settings and group facilitation in various settings for many years before in June of 2014 obtaining his MS in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy emphasis from the University of Phoenix.  He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Religious Studies from the University of California, Davis. Additionally, he studied and received an Adult Vocational Teaching Credential, Basic Education through Sacramento State University.

Since 2013 Mike has been a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (camft.org).

Mike has supervised pre-licensed therapists through Horizon Family & Community Services and Montessori Autism Programs and Services (MAPS) where he has helped to train the next generation of mental health workers. Mike maintains his supervisor training and substitute supervises often for various agencies.

LMFTs must also complete at least 36 hours of continuing education per licensing cycle every 2 years. Mike has completed well over 500 hours of continuing education beyond his Master of Counseling education as he loves to continue to learn and wants to be an even more helpful therapist for his clients or those he supervises.

The benefits of private pay can be:
1) the fee can be an affordable option and quicker option to start therapy;
2) the client is in charge of how often they want to see a therapist (not an insurance administrator); and
3) client's records are their records; they usually cannot be pulled by insurance companies or others without the client's written permission.

If clients choose to pay privately, chose not to use their insurance, or Everson Psychotherapy is not in-network with the client's insurance, please review information about receiving a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprise act of 2021. Click here for more information on a Good Faith Estimate.
