I’m Michael (he/him), a Licensed Professional Counseling Intern and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I offer experiential, relationally-oriented counseling to support you in unfolding a full expression of how you wish to be in your life. I currently provide teletherapeutic services for Oregon residents. For me, counseling is deeply relational: your relationship with yourself in your world, my own relationship to myself, and the relationship we form together. My person-centered and existential orientation to counseling sprouts from the rich soil of Gestalt Therapy, which brings curiosity, exploration, and present-process into the healing you wish to see. From this ground, I also utilize Hakomi mindful somatic psychotherapy in understanding the wisdom your body and felt experience hold. To help transform painful emotions or traumatic experiences, I also use Emotion-Focused Therapy to access emotions that promote well-being which often lie underneath more painful ones. Bringing mindfulness into our relationship can also be an effective support to access and understand your experience. Curiosity and acceptance are the two pillars my counseling approach rests upon. Most of all, I trust in and rely upon your holistic experience and organic wish for well-being. See more about me on my website: https://www.michaelrunning.care
