Michael (Mike) Wallington, LPCC

Michael (Mike) Wallington frames therapy around restoring balance when life’s pressures overwhelm coping capacity. He notes that stress, depression, and anxiety often lead people to turn to ineffective strategies - including substance use - in an effort to maintain stability, and that these patterns can undermine relationships, work performance, daily functioning, and a sense of meaning. Drawing on Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, humanistic and client-centered methods, and mindfulness-based practices, he helps identify and work through the emotions and beliefs that block progress and inhibit healing.

Wallington brings a nurturing, non-judgmental stance to the therapeutic relationship and encourages a holistic view of recovery and growth. He holds the LPCC credential, which means Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and emphasizes collaboration, respect for each person’s pace, and the development of internal resources that support renewed balance and effectiveness in meeting life’s demands.
