I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I have a passion for helping people live better lives and find more of what they want in life. With over 30 years of professional work experience, I have worked with people from many cultures, races, belief systems, lifestyles, and experiences and have been able to build an effective relationship with all of them. I have experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, communication issues, relationship issues, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and many more issues.
There are times in life when we need an outside perspective to get back on track, improve functioning, or fix something that isn’t working well. We take care of our cars, homes, and finances; our mental health is no different, in fact, it is the "operating system" upon which the rest of our lives operate.
If you are at a point where you need help making something better, let's work on it together.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Communication problems, Forgiveness, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Men's issues, Midlife crisis

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Lyons. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mike feels like a friend you were looking for, for review or examination of your behavior... The honest person who can help hold the mirror to the things that are going on.
His demeanor and way of talking leads to " the here and now" and less of " focus on the previous or early problems" ( not that it's not open for discussion) but it's very much appreciated to have acknowledgement for past trouble, with personalized discussion on what I truly want out of life today and how to get there.
Amazing guy
