Michael Lynn Pontello
Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervisor - LMFT-S
Hi! I’m Michael Lynn, (she/her) and welcome to my page. I look forward to being able to support you. I enjoy working with clients who want to co-create a space that provides many possibilities and the ability to generate the kind of change that is most desirable for each client’s unique needs. Clients who often feel misunderstood or would like to figure out their place in the world are highly welcome, with that said I enjoy working with everyone and look forward to hearing from you.
My specialty involves a client centered approach. I work with my clients to figure out what is the best plan for them. I am not the expert on your life, but I am an expert on the process of therapy and how we can work together to see what goals and needs may emerge. I have 15 years experience with diverse populations, families, and couples, I especially thrive in working with the LGBTQ+ community, those navigating the aging process, and all couples; from monogamy to polyamory/non-monogamy. I also currently only provide virtual/teletherapy services, this allows me to better serve people from all over the state of Texas.
I’m a big believer in the power of therapy. What makes it work is when you find the right fit with your therapist. If you are curious and would like to see if I might be a good fit for you, please feel free to reach out. Please email any questions and/or setting up appointments directly to admin@minecounseling.com. Let’s see what kinds of change and support are possible.
