Prof. Michael Feldler, LMHC

Prof. Michael H. Feldler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a long history of clinical work as an individual, family, group, trauma, and addiction specialist. He brings over thirty-four years of experience working with children, adults, and families across a variety of settings, combining hands-on practice with teaching and supervision in a college-based mental health training clinic.

In addition to his direct clinical work, he has spent the past fourteen years instructing and supervising undergraduate and graduate students, supporting their development in clinical settings. His training spans a broad range of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic and client-centered methods, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), inter-relational and motivational approaches, and family modalities.

He is a trained group therapist and has experience both teaching group methods and conducting group and individual sessions for people coping with trauma, addiction, and those identified as sex offenders. He emphasizes careful listening, attention to motivation as part of healing, and creating a safe and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored. His work often addresses not only presenting concerns but also the underlying factors that affect personal growth and well-being.

Prof. Feldler frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at reducing isolation and helping people move toward the life they want. He emphasizes exploration, connection, and practical steps toward health and personal development, and he seeks to build a positive therapeutic relationship in which clients can address what brought them to treatment.
