I am a "pattern based" clinician who specializes in helping my clients identify negative patterns in their life. Once negative patterns have been identified, we will work together to replace negative patterns with healthier skills. I am also a core driven clinician who specializes in identifying the root of a problem. I believe once the root of the problem is discovered, we can process it and find positive strategies to heal through the painful core issue.
My clients would describe me as caring, direct, supportive, humorous, affirming, and down to earth. If you are here and need these, then you are in the right place. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist for over 7 years and genuinely enjoy helping others reach their full potential. Life happens. But so does therapy, so let's give this a try!
When your health changes, your whole life can change.
Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You may be living with a chronic illness, unpredictable symptoms, pain, fatigue, or a condition that other people can’t see. You may still be working, caring for your family, and doing everything you’re expected to do—but you’re exhausted from trying to keep up with a life that no longer fits your body.
Perhaps you’re grieving the person you used to be, struggling with anxiety about the future, feeling guilty when you need to rest or say no, or wondering how to maintain your relationships while your needs are changing.
You don’t have to choose between accepting your new reality and still wanting a meaningful life.
Therapy can help you:
- Adjust to changes in your health and abilities.
- Grieve the life, roles, or identity you may have lost.
- Manage anxiety about symptoms and the future.
- Develop a healthier relationship with limitations, rest, and self-care.
- Navigate changes in work, family, friendships, and relationships.
- Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis.
- Find meaning and purpose when life looks different than you expected.
You are more than your diagnosis.
Together, we can work toward a life that feels meaningful—not necessarily the life you originally planned, but one that fits who you are now.
Life is hitting you hard right now and maybe you're stuck, feel alone, struggle accomplishing tasks, struggle with the way your mind works, or you feel like there's not much meaning in your life. I am Michael Sheffield and alongside obtaining Master's degree, I have been working with people for 4 years. My life and training lead me towards these challenges, my listed treatment areas, as well as self-judgement, relationship stress, pessimism, anger, life building, workaholism, & chronic pain.
