Michael R. Sudyka

Are you struggling in your marriage? Are you addicted to pornography or other sexual behaviors and can't stop even though there are negative consequences for you and others around you? Are you having behavioral issues with your teen or child? Are you exhausted and ready to give up? Help is available, and while life can be very difficult at times, I believe that I can help you learn to navigate through it. I have been happily married to my lovely wife for nearly 35 years now and have four children, a son and daughter in-law, and six grandchildren. In addition to my love for family, God has given me His heart for other cultures and people groups. I lived in Guatemala as a missionary, with my wife and firstborn son, for almost a year when first married and have been on many short-term mission trips with my church since then. I have over 30+ years' experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. I know how to utilize my training and experience to connect with my clients and bring about healing and the ability to experience healthy relationships. I also have extensive experience working in the foster-care system, dealing with child-abuse issues, behavior challenges, and teen issues. Furthermore, I specialize in helping people who are struggling with depression, unwanted behaviors, sexual problems, anxiety, anger, and addictions. I have been specially trained and have experience working with those who are sexually addicted. Sexual addiction can be particularly difficult to work through and it brings me great satisfaction to see people overcoming the addictions that have held them captive for so long. Finding a therapist can be a difficult and daunting process. You need someone who is warm, empathetic, and capable of understanding and helping you. Life is too valuable to spend it in crisis or turmoil. I would consider it an honor to help you through any struggles you are enduring. When you call our practice, you can set up a free phone consultation so that we can discuss your situation and together we will see if I can be a good fit to help you through this difficult time.
