Michael Ceely, LMFT
Counseling for Men | San Francisco Bay Area & California

"Michael is a passionate and personable therapist. There are few male therapists who are as skilled with working with men as he is."
"Michael is a very knowledgable and multi-talented therapist. I know him best through his work with men. Michael champions men unlearning many of the masculinity myths that so many of us grew up on, and helping men find more authentic and vulnerable ways of being. In addition to his clinical work, Michael also supports men's work more broadly through the creation of Men's Therapy Directory, which provides a space for men to find therapists who specialize in men's individual and group work. He also produces wise yet down-to-earth videos on different psychological topics that I've found quite illuminating, many of which I have shared with my clients. I highly recommend reaching out to Michael if you're ready to dive in!"
