Montana City Counseling "Offers A Fresh Approach for the Stresses of Today's Individual and Families."

Dr. Michael A. Emerson, PhD lcpc

Dr. Emerson specializes in Adult and Family issues, as well as Motivation and Personal Potential. Dr. Emerson assesses emotional, cognitive, and personal stresses, providing early identification, understanding and treatment of underlying issues and current problems. Early identification, understanding and treatment have often been identified as the missing link in effective service.

Once a problem has been defined and understood, the solution is sometimes obvious and easily achieved.

Unfortunately, the stresses of life often make it difficult to identify and define the problem within a variety of work, academic, interpersonal, and family settings.

Dr. Emerson is available to help clarify the problem, identify the issues and point out various paths to a solution. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Mental Health Professional, Dr. Emerson brings over 30 years of experience and expertise to the assessment and counseling field. Understanding the difficult roles of all concerned, Dr Emerson can help identify and bridge potential problem areas.
