Mike Smukler Psychotherapy

This is a place to slow down and pay attention. Nothing needs to be fixed or explained away. Change comes through careful attention, and we work together to determine the pace and direction. I work with adults navigating anxiety, anger, stress, and significant life transitions. Rather than signs of defect, these experiences can be invitations to understand yourself more clearly and to live in closer alignment with who you are. My approach is integrative and grounded. I use methods that are both practical and reflective, helping you better understand yourself while making meaningful changes. We slow down enough to understand emotional and relational patterns and approach change in a way that feels deliberate and sustainable. Over time, this work often leads to greater clarity, less reactivity, and a deeper sense of direction. The therapeutic relationship is central. You do not need to perform or arrive with everything figured out. This work tends to resonate with people who value understanding themselves more deeply and making meaningful changes that feel sustainable and lasting. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nearly two decades of experience across private practice, outpatient care, and interdisciplinary clinical settings. In addition to clinical practice, I provide clinical supervision to developing therapists, supporting their development and clinical judgment. I meet with clients via telehealth and offer Saturday morning appointments. FEES My practice is primarily private pay. $260 — Initial 60-minute session $220 — Standard 45-minute session $260 — Extended 60-minute session I am in network with BlueCross BlueShield and provide documentation to support out-of-network reimbursement for other plans.
