About Me
Hello! My name is Michael Serene, you can call me Mike, and I have been practicing in the helping profession for over twenty-six years. I am first and foremost a Professional Listener who looks forward to hearing your story in full confidence, and helping you find ways to achieve peace and contentment in your life.
My expertise is in depression, anxiety, stress, and how they relate to life transitions, loneliness, relationships, child and family needs, and the challenges of aging. I have extensive training and experience working with mental health concerns, trauma, crisis intervention, child abuse, elder abuse, domestic violence, family conflict, financial crisis, and the mental health effects of challenging legal issues and serious medical conditions. I have worked with a large, diverse population all over the Baltimore area and enjoy getting to meet, know, and help people of all backgrounds. No concerns are too small- or too large- everyone has innate value and deserves to be listened to with honest, unconditionally positive regard and receive the utmost professional, dedicated service.
It is my sincere and strong belief that every individual has the power to transform their life and achieve their goals. My objective with every client to help them realize and activate their own internal power. I also believe in the strength of spirituality, regardless of your religion or no religion at all, and of achieving connection with your community.
I strongly adhere to observable, measurable results in practice. What we agree to achieve together is exactly what we shall do. Your goals are foremost and you deserve to have concrete evidence that what we do is helping.
For myself - I love to cook gourmet meals, read, (I have a weakness for science fiction), exercise, garden, and I especially enjoy long walks in the outdoors with my wife of 21 years. I am a very down to earth, practical person that focuses on living life in the moment while planning and acting for a successful future.
I sincerely look forward to meeting you in person, hearing your story, and helping you achieve your own personal contentment.
- Michael Serene, LCSW-C"
