About

Hello, my name is Michael Duryea, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and affirming of polyamorous and nontraditional relationships. I strive to create a warm, inclusive space where clients feel safe to explore who they are and what they need.

My approach is grounded in humanistic principles—centered on authenticity, presence, and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth. I integrate evidence-based practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential techniques, and trauma-informed care. For couples, I draw from the Gottman Method to support communication, conflict repair, emotional safety, and long-term connection.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process. Whether you're working through a recent rupture, feeling stuck in old patterns, or longing for deeper intimacy, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change. You don’t have to do it alone. Healing and connection are possible, and I’m here to walk with you.
