About

Hi there, I'm Michael! Great to meet you! My name is Michael T. Hester, LPC, LCDC, LVN, NCC, CCS, SAPR VA, D-SAACP Level II, and I am an Expert People Developer (EPD) with over 25 years of experience in the helping field. In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am a nurse, educator, and disabled military veteran. I completed the Air Assault School at the home of the 101st Airborne Division. I served honorably during peacetime and periods of war while assigned to the 86th Evacuation Hospital, Fort Campbell, Kentucky. My approach My approach to therapy is energetic, interactive, and solution-focused. Although I specialize in Adlerian therapeutic techniques, complementary methodologies are integrated to offer a highly personalized and holistic approach to therapy. What can clients expect to take away from sessions? Our team's primary areas of focus: Depression, anxiety, stress, and anger management; occupation and workplace issues; adjustment and alcohol and substance abuse disorders; military lifestyle challenges; and family concerns. My focus The types of clients that I typically work with express concerns about depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, and anger management; occupation and workplace issues; adjustment to life challenges and alcohol and substance abuse disorders; military lifestyle challenges; and family concerns. My communication style Everyone has their own unique needs, and I strive to meet them with joy, compassion, and understanding. You will be encouraged, supported, and challenged according to your personal growth journey. I will be truthful, but the truth will always be transmitted with kindness. My journey to therapy My entire life is deeply embedded in service. I was raised by a single father who also served in the army and supported extended family and friends. I simply believe that the healthiest people in the world care about others. My greatest satisfaction is achieved by helping others reach their maximum potential.
