Hi, my name is Michael Nissen.

I knew I wanted to be a mental health counselor since I was in middle school. I love getting to know people and hearing about their stories. I believe we all have the capacity for positive change, even though it may seem impossible at times. As an intern counselor, I like to see each client's strengths and empower them to handle life's curveballs.

Within the counseling space, my wish is for clients to feel that they can bring up any issue and it will be received with grace and empathy. My only ask is that clients show up as their authentic selves.

I welcome all into this space regardless of age, nationality, race, or religion. I love to embrace all aspects that make you unique and amazing.

Everyone's healing journey is different, and no matter how it may begin or end, I will be walking with you.
