Mike Murphy, Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT

Primary Therapist and Therapy Dog Prince

Mike holds a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from Regis University in Denver. He is drawn toward a systemic approach to therapy due the profound influences he’s experienced navigating many diverse systems, and more importantly the narratives that have resulted. Mike’s clinical experience has been focused on Young Adults and Adolescents who are having trouble finding meaning, in what is an increasingly complicated world and time in their development. He believes clarity and healing can spring from the insight gained around profound influences, primarily family but also narratives formed through one’s academic and relational engagement. As a father of two young adults, He’s very in tune with the uniqueness of their generation and the traps of using 20th century motivational techniques on a brain that has been impacted by vastly different experiences.Lastly, he cites finding it hard to look past the startling statistics around mental health, addiction and suicide rates of our young people today. The technological and societal dynamics at play appear to only be getting more intense and in need of greater insight to support this very stressed population.Prior to (Aim House / BIH) Mike was dedicated to working with adolescents / young adults in very diverse settings including Boston where he initially worked as an In-Home Therapist in South Boston neighborhoods, then was recruited to facilitate groups in an Intensive Out-Patient (IOP) in East Boston; addressing their substance abuse with the evidenced based Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) Model. Enjoying time with his family and friends, music festivals, hiking and playing drums are some of Mike’s favorite pastimes.
