Michael Wallin MFT

As a younger gay man, I was interested in seeing how it would go with an older LGBT therapist. Michael Wallin is great. I was having feelings of depression around work and identity issues. Michael has an interesting approach, very grounded in «cognitive behavior» techniques. I had seen another therapist for a couple months but was always getting upset after our sessions. Never with Michael. He challenges me but in a way that gets me to see things from a different perspective. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in my age range (25 – 35) who needs to find out if a therapist can help talk things out.

Last year my life went into a bit of a tailspin and so I sought out a therapist. I was lucky to find Michael Wallin. He listened attentively, helped me gain perspective, and gave me the tools I needed to carry on. Michael has a great friendly supportive demeanor, he was never impatient or judgmental. In addition to being a terrific therapist, Michael completed stacks of insurance forms and supported my efforts to get full coverage. I would use Michael again should the need arise and I would also recommend him to others

Michael Wallin has been an excellent therapist for me over the time that I have seen him. He has taken seriously all of the issues I’ve brought up and provided very on-​point suggestions and recommendations as to how to address them. His demeanor is a great balance between warm yet serious. He has always been calm yet wont back down on an issue he feels strongly about even when I’m protesting.
Over the course of our visits, he Michael Wallin has shown himself to be very knowledgable about a full range of issues and is ready to address them in an integrated and immediately applicable form right away. He is very interactive and will never just sit there while uncomfortable silence goes by.
I’ve had some less than sastisfactory therapists in the past and for me, Michael Wallin proves that if you keep looking for the right therapist, you will find one. I could not more highly recommend him.
As an aside, his office is right inbetween Church Street Café and Thourogh Bread in case you have few minutes before or afterward that you want to sit down and reflect with a cup of tea.

He did not show up for the first session. Just was not there. No apology. I tried to be understanding and I rescheduled for the following week. Three hours before the 2^nd appointment, he rescheduled that appointment. (If I were a patient, I’d be charged but he expected a free-​pass.) Since I hadn’t met him and was eager to start therapy, I went to that session. He showed up 20 minutes late, explaining his mother had been sick. Made an appointment for the following week. Once again 3 hours before that appointment, he tried to reschedule. When I declined, he had the audacity to ask for his co-​pay.
Completely unprofessional, not what anyone would want in a therapist. Don’t waste your time — he will.
