About Michael Walsh
Michael Walsh is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. Prior to beginning his work at My Psychiatrist in 2022, Michael worked in a residential treatment facility with children and adolescents, facilitating daily groups as well as aiding in crisis interventions. Michael also worked with an outpatient clinic serving those dealing with substance addictions, facilitating intensive outpatient groups as well as groups for children whose parents experienced addiction, to help them develop coping strategies and healthy interpersonal relationships with peers.
As a licensed therapist, Michael specializes in helping individuals navigate life's most difficult challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and a collaborative approach. With training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and addiction recovery, Michael works with clients to develop practical tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and personal growth.
Michael's clinical experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, life changes, and co-occurring conditions. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Michael works collaboratively with each client on an approach tailored to their unique needs and goals—whether that means building coping skills, exploring the roots of emotional pain, or finding new ways to live with intention and purpose.
