About me

I have worked in the field of Mental Health Counseling for over 20 years and have extensive experience working with adults, families, adolescents and children. I received much of my clinical training and experience working in inpatient hospital, residential treatment and outpatient treatment settings. During that time I held a variety of professional positions, received quality supervision and completed my Masters Degree in Community Counseling.
I founded an outpatient clinic, Forward Choices, in order to create opportunities to better serve the mental health needs of local families, children and adolescents. As a small community clinic, we are better able to focus our attention according to your best interests and individual needs. I also find that when in person counseling services are not available, the use of current technology (typed messaging, video on-line live chat and phone consultation) can aid in the generation of a highly effective and beneficial counseling experience.
I have found it to be rewarding to witness the progress of the clientele that counseling. During my own free time I take time to immerse my self in individual hobbies of automobile restoration, cooking, personal study,exercise and engagement in wellness activities.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michael Wallner. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Written on Oct 09, 2019 after therapy with Michael for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Michael’s great. I like his philosophy and the readings/exercises he offers match what I want from counseling/therapy.

Work with me!
