Michael Hoober

Michael Hoober is a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with adolescents, adults, and families. He possesses a unique perspective on mental health, viewing issues as problems within systems rather than flaws in individuals, and believes that the mental health industry often presents challenges to achieving success. His clients are typically those eager to enhance their personal functionality and overall wellness in a complex world. Michael is dedicated to improving family systems dynamics, aiding in the navigation of long-standing disrupted attachments, and assisting families in the transition of launching adult children. He employs an eclectic approach to therapy that incorporates insight-oriented methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, eco-systemic structural therapy, attachment theory, and positive human developmental perspectives. However, he emphasizes that these methodologies are only effective through cultivating a strong therapeutic relationship. In the initial sessions, he conducts an assessment focused on building this pivotal relationship while exploring the client’s family of origin, dynamics, and the narrative of their life. From this foundation, he and his clients establish goals that guide the path toward a brighter future.
