Biographical Info
My name is mike kessler (they/he), and I'm a genderqueer, transmasculine, pansexual therapist with over 30 years of experience. I specialize in serving LGBTQIA+ people around exploring gender & attractions, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, dating & sex, coming out, family & relationship issues, body image and neurodivergence, among other things. I believe you are the expert on you, not me! I take a collaborative, client-centered & humanistic approach to therapy. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify & change unhelpful thought patterns, develop skills to manage your emotions & somatic work to foster a mind-body approach and help you get comfortable in your body. So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
