Hi, I’m Dr. Michael Drane

I am deeply passionate about helping people through the darkest times in their life and am immensely gratified by seeing the power of change.

I graduated with honors from Arizona State University with a Bachelors in Psychology. Shortly after, I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adams State University in 2015.

I have served in the mental health field since 2008, specializing in serious mental illnesses like Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Conduct Disorder, and Psychopathic Behavior.

In 2022 I finished my Doctorate in Clinical Education and Supervision at Antioch University, Seattle. My experience as a college professor has helped me gain a deep understanding of topics like Abnormal Psychology, Psychodiagnostics & Treatment Planning, Psychopathology, Developmental Psychology, and Counseling Theory.

Hello there, My name is Vanesa Arostegui

I specialize in working with relationship trauma, executive dysfunction, and dissociative disorders. I go beyond empathic listening to help you identify practical changes.

Coming to therapy with the initial goal of “feeling better” is enough! I respect that your pain is real, complicated, and deserving of my time and attention.
