About

With a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise, Michael McGuire stands at the forefront of addiction and trauma therapy. As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, Michael brings a powerful combination of empathy and evidence-based practices to his work with both adults and teenagers.

Michael's journey in the field of mental health and addiction treatment is both extensive and varied. He has served in multiple roles, including Mental Health Tech, Admissions Coordinator, and Clinical Director, before becoming a master's level clinician in 2014. This diverse background provides him with a comprehensive understanding of the treatment process from multiple angles, allowing him to offer nuanced and effective care to his clients.

At the core of Michael's practice is his specialization in addiction and trauma therapy. He employs cutting-edge therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), to help clients process and overcome past traumas that may be hindering their personal growth and recovery. These evidence-based approaches have proven particularly effective in treating complex trauma and addiction issues.

What sets Michael apart is his personal journey of recovery, which informs his therapeutic approach. He truly embodies the life he advises others to lead, bringing a unique level of authenticity and understanding to his practice. This personal experience, combined with his professional training, allows him to offer practical, tried-and-tested strategies for overcoming addiction and managing trauma responses.

Michael's practice, McGuire Recovery, reflects his commitment to providing comprehensive care. He works collaboratively with his wife, Annie McGuire, to offer specialized services for teens and families dealing with mental illness and substance use issues. Their combined expertise has made them particularly adept at serving young adults and adolescents, an often underserved demographic in mental health care.

Potential clients can expect a therapist who is not only professionally qualified but also personally invested in their recovery journey. Michael's approach is characterized by a balance of compassion and practical guidance, helping individuals free themselves from the burden of addiction and traumatic experiences to live the fulfilling life they've always wanted.
