I’m a therapist and teacher who believes that healing is an act of remembering — of coming home to what has always been deep within. My work lives at the intersection of psychology, soul, and embodiment. I help people reconnect with their inner world, rework the old patterns that keep them stuck, and rediscover a deeper rhythm in their lives.
For over a decade, I’ve walked alongside those facing the quiet crises of being human — grief, love, loss, identity, purpose, and the deep hunger for meaning. I don’t see therapy as symptom management; I see it as a initiation of the soul — a space where what’s been buried, silenced, or forgotten can be met with compassion and curiosity.
My approach is collaborative and active. I draw from Jungian depth psychology, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and creative expression to help clients not just think about change, but feel it. I’ve taught psychology at the college level, trained extensively in trauma and somatic work, and continue to learn from every story shared in the room.
I believe we’re all in a process of becoming — shedding what no longer fits, reclaiming what was lost, and learning to live with more honesty, courage, and hope. Therapy, at its best, is not about fixing what’s wrong; it’s about awakening to what’s possible.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

After months working with Michael I can only praise him and his work. He has helped me navigate through all kind of different issues, showing always the upmost respect, empathy and care for my experience. He is very approachable and kind, making it very easy to trust him. I am very grateful to him for all his good work and support.
I have not spent a huge amount of time with Michael, but in the discussions we have, he is very open to listening to what I want to focus on and really tries to figure out the best ways to approach my issues. I believe this is an extremely important thing for any counselor to do and I greatly appreciate Michael's thoroughness.
I am very satisfied with experience with Michael Brakett. It is my second experience with a counselor, and I used to work in a small counseling company, so I have something to compare with. Michael is very supportive, always answers in timely manner and would ask me if everything alright and if he's actions help me, if he doesn't get an answer from me after few days. I respect his professionalism, I receive very deep and informative messages from him. It feels like he cares about me and he knows, what he is doing.
Michael has been very supportive and understanding of my needs, fears and anxieties, and I’m now more secure and confident knowing he is there when I need him, thank you!
