Berkeley Psychotherapy & EMDR — Jared Michaels, LMFT

Psychotherapy is a profound way to heal and grow with the support of a good relationship. If we work together, I would try to form a strong, solid bond with you—one that feels warm, grounded, and safe.

People naturally bloom within such a relationship. As we trust that we can be ourselves and not hold back, we gradually release stored painful emotions, transform self-limiting beliefs, discover our purpose in life, and realize that we are whole.

I work with adults, ranging from 21-year-olds to elders. I do some of my best work with trauma, including childhood, transgenerational(opens in new tab), and collective(opens in new tab). Clients often report that I am the first person—and also significantly the first man—that they have felt safe with. I frequently use a powerful tool called EMDR. I am an experienced meditation teacher and a climate-aware therapist.(opens in new tab)
