About Michael Ceely

You’re ambitious and high achieving, but you’re stressed out. I’ve been there. From pushing myself in professional sports, to working long hours in the tech sector, I understand what it’s like to strive for more but feel stuck, anxious and overwhelmed.


What if instead you could strive for what you want and actually reduce your stress? What if you could improve your relationships and take care of yourself at the same time? Maybe even start enjoying life more?


There is a better way. You don’t have to suffer so much. My approach to therapy is about teaching you practical skills you can use in the real world to make your life better.


I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which, as the name implies, helps change your thinking and your actions to solve your problems in a better way.


I first discovered the power of counseling as a teenager. I had a great therapist who was direct, honest, and talked to me like a normal person. He taught me the skills I needed to get on the right path.


Today, my role is to guide you in the same way. I believe all men can benefit from counseling and make positive, lasting changes in their lives.
