About
In the face of life's overwhelming challenges, Michael Boyer stands as a beacon of hope and healing. With a passion for guiding individuals through their most turbulent times, Boyer specializes in helping children, adolescents, and adults find peace and wholeness amidst life's storms.
At Foundations Counseling, Boyer employs a strengths-based, person-centered approach that recognizes the inherent value and potential in each client. His therapeutic toolkit is diverse, incorporating Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), talk therapy, child play therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. This eclectic methodology allows him to tailor his approach to each client's unique needs and circumstances.
Boyer's expertise spans a wide range of mental health and wellness issues, including severe anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, stress management, grief and loss, addictions, and sleep disorders. He also specializes in working with children and teens, addressing challenges such as ADD/ADHD, self-esteem issues, family dynamics, and behavioral disorders. His commitment to helping clients develop healthy perceptions of themselves is evident in his work with individuals struggling with self-esteem, social anxiety, and relationship problems.
Holding a Master of Social Work degree from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Colorado State University, Boyer's educational background provides a solid foundation for his practice. His professional affiliations with organizations such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the Society for the Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH) demonstrate his commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to ethical standards.
Boyer's approach to therapy is perhaps best encapsulated in his embrace of Fred Rogers' philosophy: "Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable." This perspective underscores his belief in the power of open communication and the importance of creating a safe space for clients to express their feelings and experiences. Through this compassionate and skilled guidance, Michael Boyer empowers his clients to navigate life's challenges and emerge stronger, more resilient, and at peace with themselves.
