About
Michael Saleh, PsyD
Dr. Saleh is here to help you achieve greater wellbeing and fulfillment in life and sport. It is normal to develop anxiety, depression, and trauma in response to the pressure to perform in our modern world, and some turn to substances and other ineffective coping behaviors to help. Many youth and adults who are athletes and in the general population do not always have the support needed to thrive. That’s where Dr. Saleh comes in.
With his expertise and lived experiences as an athlete and a person in recovery, he offers a kind, intuitive, and collaborative style of therapy that encourages you to live by your deepest values in order to achieve goals. He combines behavioral therapies with mindfulness of the body and nervous system to help you develop a healthier relationships with yourself, and in turn, your loved ones and community.
He welcomes you to schedule a complimentary phone consultation to determine how he can support your whole-person wellness.
