Dr. Mike Adams works with a wide range of emotional and psychological struggles ranging from anxiety and depression to posttraumatic stress and childhood abuse. Primarily he works with adults and older teenagers but has been known to work with younger teenagers in special cases. Dr. Adams’ techniques focus on resolving deep (also called “core”) emotions, beliefs, and experiences that fuel problems in our lives. Resolving these issues enables us to have healthier and more satisfying relationships with ourselves, family, work, and God. He is also trained in trauma processing techniques for restructuring and working through painful/traumatic experiences.

This specialty ranges from sexual and relationship “addictions” (pornography, affairs, masturbation, etc.), connection anxieties and fears, lack of emotional or physical contact in relationships, and struggles with sexual intimacy. He also has specialized experience in working with adults with ADD.
