ABOUT
Michael T. Enriquez, M.S., M.A.
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
As a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist working with children, adolescents, and teens, my goal is to help clients realize how resilient and powerful they truly are, equipping them with skills necessary to address life's challenges, while celebrating their milestones and successes.
Part of a successful therapy experience is creating an environment that promotes healing and comfort. That said, I am a huge proponent of getting outside and moving with my clients. Living in such a digitally-charged world, staying indoors and getting sucked into screen time is easy. In order to care for our minds, we must also care for our bodies, and making time to be outside is a great way to do just that. Walking with my clients not only helps ease conversation and build rapport, but for someone who may be feeling depressed or overwhelmed, exercising releases endorphins that can enhance their emotional and mental state, including mood boosting effects and sharpened mental clarity. Adding therapy on top of it is a double benefit. For those who are unable or unwilling to meet in an outdoor setting, I am happy to discuss other accommodations.
During therapy, I work with each client to achieve set goals. I believe that everyone has a unique story. Exploring and processing it can be challenging, even scary, and it's my passion to ensure that everyone is able to harness their past, present, and future with confidence and resilience. Together we'll work to identify dysfunctional patterns and/or past traumas that might be hindering a client's ability to live the type of life they hope for.
I look forward to walking alongside you (literally) on your journey!

"Seeing Mike has been truly impactful over the course of my youth into adulthood. His casual and calm demeanor made me feel comfortable coming to him since a young age. His guidance has helped me deal with issues of anxiety, and uncertainty, and I am truly lucky to have worked with Mike over the years."

"As a parent, I found that at times, my love was simply not enough to keep my children safe and emotionally, mentally, and physically strong enough to navigate the trials and tribulations of life. I wanted to teach my children that asking for help is not only the right thing to do, but it is also the smart thing to do. Michael's credentials, experience, and reputation are of the highest standard. He provides respectful validation, and his positive outlook is present and felt at every encounter. I am truly grateful!"

"Seeing Coach Mike has changed my life. He has helped me with my problems. Any problems big or small, he has helped me get through them all. In my opinion, I don't HAVE to see Coach Mike, I GET to see him. I love walking with him and talking about anything that is going on in my life. Coach Mike is kind, amazing, and fun. Coach Mike, you have made my life better."
