About

Hello! My name is Mike Shulman, LCSW-C, and I want to start off by saying, you’ve made the right choice. Gaining insight into life’s trials, tribulations, and joys is an amazing experience and is bolstered by the help of professionals who are trained in stimulating and guiding the mind to a happier, healthier existence. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

My professional practice comprises over nine years of working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families as they navigated through difficult transitions and events that have impacted their lives. The range of issues that I have tackled with clients is vast, ranging anywhere from sever substance abuse to schizophrenia, to break-ups and divorce and everywhere in between. I am in constant study of multiple modalities, including Cognitive based approaches, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Existential Therapy, as well as addiction and trauma. I received my Masters in Social Work from the Tulane School of Social Work in 2017, where I also received a certification in Trauma Mental Health and Crisis Intervention. I feel that whatever issues you may be facing, we can face them together.

My approach is very much client-driven and client centered, highlighted by the relational aspect of therapy. This means you are the expert! I am not here to tell anyone what to do, but instead be an empathetic companion, asking questions and helping to investigate the dynamic aspects of your life, and to do so without judgment. As we move through the therapeutic process, we will get to know each other, begin to develop a plan, incorporate strategies to assist you in increasing calm, collectedness, and confidence, ultimately leading to better decision making and better outcomes.

The way I see it, let’s take the pressure off. Every experience is practice for the next experience. No one here is perfect (sorry to break it to ya!), but with every experience we can gain insight and knowledge into who we are and who we want to become.

If you feel like we would be a good match, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Be easy.

-Mike
