Dr.Michael Stempkovski

It takes courage to connect for counseling and recovery from abuse, loss, trauma, or other adverse childhood experiences. Often these experiences can result in challenging maladaptive behaviors including substance use, aggression, self-injury, or suicidality in youth. I believe that children and youth heal best in a family-focused relational modality addressing the problems to be solved for the youth and their caregivers too. Individuals who have experienced disruption in their relationships through the death of a parent or removal from their home can benefit from clarification and reconciliation to achieve safety and wellness. I am trained in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and am certified in trauma treatment (TF-CBT), adolescent substance abuse treatment (A-CRA), and am an adoption competent mental health clinician. I look forward to working with youth, young adults and their families on treatment goals that reflect voice and choice in treatment. Reach out for the support you, your child or your loved one may need today. **Specialties:** I specialize in relational impacts from adverse experiences that result in self-injury, substance use, and/or complications in daily adaptive functioning. I promote resiliency based interventions with durable solutions for grief, loss, attachment and seperation issues. I endorse proven strategies for parent skill development and family harmony. I help men reconcile issues that inhibit self-worth. **Credentials & Experience:** I am trained in Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS), am a certified trauma therapist (TF-CBT), and am an EMDR clinician. I am also a certified clinical supervisor and therapist in A-CRA, a substance use evidence-based practice.
