Michael Strand - Psychologist

Welcome! I'm Dr. Mike Strand, PsyD, a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience helping others improve their mental well-being. My practice intertwines comprehensive psychological assessments with transformative therapy services, aimed at fostering deep self-understanding and facilitating personal growth. 

In the realm of psychological assessments, I specialize in a broad array of evaluations, including but not limited to ADHD, learning disabilities, personality testing, and emotional or behavioral issues. These assessments are quite useful for uncovering specific needs, pinpointing areas for development, and crafting a targeted approach to therapy and support. Each assessment is conducted with the utmost precision and care, designed to provide you with a clear, actionable understanding of your or your loved one's psychological profile.

In addition to assessment services, I also provide clients with transformative individual and couples therapy services. We engage in a therapeutic process that is both collaborative and personalized, ensuring that the strategies and interventions employed are directly aligned with your unique challenges and goals. This approach not only facilitates a deeper understanding of oneself, but also empowers you to make significant strides in your personal development and relationships.

By combining evidence-based assessment techniques with empathetic and effective therapy, my aim is to guide you toward a clearer understanding of yourself and provide practical tools for managing life's complexities. Whether we're uncovering underlying patterns through assessments, or navigating emotional barriers in therapy, you can expect a process that is respectful, validating, and tailored to meet your needs at every turn. Together, we'll work towards uncovering your fullest potential, ensuring that you feel supported, understood, and prepared to face whatever comes your way.
