About the Counselor: I love what I get to do. I have been fully licensed as a counselor for 5 years, and have been volunteering in the mental health field for 18 years. I count it a privilege to use my training, experience, and giftedness to help people discover the truths about themselves and others that causes real, lasting change. Teaching you how to "cope" is never my goal as I don't believe that we were created to simply cope with struggles. Instead, I believe that it is possible to be completely relieved from them! I have experienced it myself and have seen it happen in others time and time again. I am convinced that real freedom is possible for you! FAQ: Q) What are your fees? A) My current rate is $50 per session. A session generally runs 50 minutes to an hour, and may include an individual, a couple, or a family. Q) What forms of payment do you accept? A) Cash, personal check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Paypal. Q) Do you do evening and/or weekend sessions? A) Yes! Contact me for availability. Q) How can I contact you? A) Call me at (817)726-8165 or email me at michaelbradford@gmail.com Q) Do you accept insurance? A) Yes, I do accept some insurance plans including MediCAID. Please call or email for specific information. Q) How long will it take me to feel better? A) My goal is to help you feel better your first session. There are no guarantees in counseling as there are obviously many factors involved and some issues take longer to resolve; but in general and in my experience, most people come for an average of 3-5 sessions before feeling significant relief or at least adequately equipped to continue finding freedom without the need for further professional assistance. Q) Do you do premarital counseling? A) Yes! I am also a Twogether in Texas provider, and you can get the state marriage license fee waived if you do eight (8) hours of premarital counseling through me. Q) Are you an approved LPC Supervisor? A) Yes! I would be honored to help you meet your LPC licensing requirements. Contact me for a free initial consulatation to see if we're a good fit. Q) Do you teach anger management? A) Yes! It may surprise you to know that anger is a result of either fear (guilt or inferiority) or pain (hurt or trauma). We'll identify and discuss how to heal those wounds. If you are court-ordered for anger management classes, make sure the court will accept anger management classes from a licensed professional counselor (LPC). Q) What is your religious affiliation?
A) I am a born-again Christian. I have degrees from a Baptist seminary, and actively attend and serve at a non-denominational Spirit-filled church (Gateway Church in Southlake, TX). |
