As the founder of Present Centered Therapies, Dr. Michael Mongno has synthesized "what works" in psychotherapy, expanding clients’ self-awareness and increasing emotional attunement. His work with them focuses on breaking through limiting thought patterns that can cause anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness and isolation. This translates into the ability to express their needs in healthy ways, thus staying centered and making relationships more genuine, fulfilling, and loving.
Wellness services offered: My comprehensive training incorporates Gestalt and cognitive-behavioral therapies, holistic and integrative philosophies, and meditation and mindfulness for stress reduction.
Areas of specialty: My couples therapy draws from my training with notable relationship therapists such as David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage); Harville Hendrix (Imago Relationship Therapy); and Susan Johnson (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). I help each couple better understand and resolve their underlying family-of-origin issues and learn to communicate more effectively and authentically, thereby transforming their ongoing co-created emotional dynamic.
What sets your practice apart? My dating coaching helps singles discover more deeply who they are and what they want in a relationship, as well as the means to find that right partner.
