"HE OFFERS GREAT ADVICE TO HELP YOU IMPROVE UPON YOURSELF."

Emily D.

I LOVE Mike!!! The very thought of therapy was kind of heavy, but after I got in there, it was MORE than comfortable! He offers multiple ideas, thoughts and opinions, AND listens and accepts yours in return. He offers great advice outside of your personal relationships to help you improve upon them and yourself. In turn, I've been able to open my mind to perceiving situations from other people's perspective, which helps with understanding and self-control. He's down to Earth, open, honest, funny, and respectful. I can't say enough great things to describe my experience! Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a comfortable place to rediscover and improve upon yourself, your relationships, and your life! Thanks SO much Mike!!!

"HE IMMEDIATELY ALLEVIATED THE SENSE OF BEING OVERWHELMED"

Jennifer T.

I first contacted Mike, via email. Without even meeting him face to face, he was genuinely helpful in a simple introduction. I scheduled an appointment with him at that time. The first visit was much easier than I expected. His office is a relaxing atmosphere. He let me lead the pace of the visit. I was able to speak freely without feeling judged. He did not try to interject while I was talking. Once I finished my initial rambling of EVERYTHING, he helped me sort through the thoughts and was able to assist in prioritizing my needs. It immediately alleviated the sense of being overwhelmed. His insight is quite helpful. Not only does he have the vast knowledge and expertise of the clinical side, he gives real life, day to day examples that you can relate to. If counseling is something you are seeking, Mike can certainly assist you.

"CARNEY WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO TALKED ABOUT A PLAN AND COURSE OF ACTION."

Grace R.

Just updating this to add that Carney has helped me so much during this pandemic. Everything is crazy and I know he's got to have so much going on, but he is still his same steadfast self and helping others so much. I'm even more grateful than ever that I have him as a therapist! I may not know what next week offers, but I do know that I can rely on him for help any time I need it.

I have been going to Carney off and on (as I have need) for about 4 years. I have a chronic condition and whenever I need to get in, I'm able to and he's always helpful. I contacted several therapists and psychologists (male and female) prior to choosing Carney. All of them were very, "you're going to sit on my couch, talking about your feelings, I'll tell you it's all your dad's fault and pat you on the back and send you on your way all better." Carney was the only one who talked about a plan and course of action. He's honest, he helps you realize things that you're doing wrong and then come up with a plan to help you. I know I can trust him and always feel safe in his office. I never recommend anyone else! And I always leave his office feeling more confident.

"THE MOMENT I WALK INTO HIS OFFICE I BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF"

Megg N.

Michael is incredible. The moment I walk into his office I breathe a sigh of relief. The first time Michael saw me, he and I both knew if I didn't get help immediately I was going to end up dead within less than a year. I was very self-destructive. I didn't know how to cope with life at all. I had no respect for myself or the people in my life. Michael changed my life. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his field. His eclectic style is on point. He is compassionate, understanding, inspirational, informative, witty, and 100% real. I highly recommend him for people dealing with any type of issue(s). He helped me through my struggles with addiction, abuse, depression, anxiety and much more. I am incredibly thankful for him. BTW he has snacks and drinks in his office. Bonus! :) He's a great person and counselor. Go see for yourself. You're welcome.

"HE HAS ME FIGURED OUT COLD!!!"

Bryan Twisted

An incredible guy and an even better therapist. I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression over 25 years ago, so I know a little about therapists. Several years ago, my therapist passed away and as you can imagine, was reluctant to start over with someone new. As is the nature of depression, the option of self-remedy was quickly closing. Tried several, worked with one for months and realized we weren't moving forward. Then I was referred to Mike. He has me figured out cold!!! He knows where I am and where I can go. I'm excited to go to my appointments and best of all, my wife likes ME!!!

"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MICHAEL CARNEY"

Kevin O.

After being in detox for 6 days I got released by the Dr. with no meds and no after care nothing, didn't know where to turn I started calling therapist and with no luck with call backs from anyone. I decided to give one more person a try which was Carney. I really wasn't sure because of his google profile pic almost turned me away cause he appeared a little creepy but I’m glad I didn't let myself judge a book by its cover. Michael Carney has been a blessing to my family from the day I met him I felt comfortable with him with my life in his hands to guide me in the right direction. The first day I met him he set me up with everything I needed to do that I didn’t know before and got me a great psychiatrist as well. furthermore my wife and I are eventually going to start couples therapy with him as well. If you have any issues that you feel you need a therapist I highly recommend Michael Carney!

"I WAS HIDING IN MY ROOM FOR 10 WEEKS HALLUCINATIING, IT WAS EXACTLY THE OFFICE I NEEDED TO WALK INTO."

Shane Lol

After cold turkeying off of my psych meds and suffering a complete psychotic break, I was hiding in my room for 10 weeks hallucinating, and having constant panic attacks my mom got me in with Mr. Carny after a 5 day visit to the psych ward. It was exactly the office I needed to walk into. I was coherent on meds and we got to know each other pretty quick, not only is he qualified but he’s funny, and my favorite part is that he’s real. He doesn’t treat you like a crazy person, he doesn’t talk down to you, and he can help you with all kinds of issues because of his connections with other doctors. He really got me on the right treatment track. He’s very realistic about psych meds, which I am very happy for because personally I was beyond terrified of them. he got me to trust a psychiatrist and im enjoying life again after 10 weeks of physical and psychological hell. And the best part is that Im going to continue to work with him so that eventually I won’t need to depend on meds to function normally it’s a long road but I'm glad that I am in good hands.

"HE DOESN'T HESITATE TO MAKE TIME FOR HIS CLIENTS"

Cynthia W.

Mike is a very insightful guy that can pick up whatever you put down, whether that’d be spoken or unspoken. He doesn’t hesitate to make time for his clients and provides plenty of opportunities to communicate whatever. He incorporates his education to provide insight as well as feedback or advice if needed. Even if you just need someone to listen, he’s your guy. He has a good heart and a witty sense of humor that’s not for everybody but I sure appreciate all that he’s done for my family including myself.

"HE WILL LISTEN WITHOUT JUDGEMENT"

Anonymous

There is a reason that Dr. Carney (Mike) is in high demand. He is not your typical therapist. Mike is all about genuine care for his clients and will give you the individual attention you deserve during your appointments. He will listen without judgement, tell you want you need to hear and provide practical advice and support in each session. He firmly believes in his clients ability to make positive changes. It is rare to find a dedicated therapist/coach that is genuine, experienced and most importantly, delivers results.

"HE HAS HELPED ME THROUGH AN ABUSIVE MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND SELF-HARM"

Grace W.

I have been seeing Carney for almost a decade. He has helped me through an abusive marriage, divorce, self-harm, job struggles, financial struggles, and now this whole mess of COVID. I also have a lot of physical health problems which add to my depression. Carney gives me honest, straight talk and helps me to think clearly and move forward. He proved himself time and again back when things were simpler, and I honestly don't know how I would get through my hard times and this current pandemic without him! He's been able to identify and teach me to identify problems and patterns, and ways to improve. If there were medals for being the best therapist, he should have all of them. I always recommend him to anyone looking for a quality therapist.

"HE HELPED WHEN MY SON WAS IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL, DUE TO DRUGS & LIFE CHOICES"

T. James

I initially sought Dr. Carney's help when my son was in a downward spiral, due to drugs & life choices. He was an excellent support & resource in making some very tough decisions. I then continued seeing him as my counselor through that season of caring for my son & as my marriage of almost 20 years ended and the subsequent healing & rebuilding of life as a single mom. He consistently provides professional respect, trust, compassion, support, insight, empathy, strategies, and perspective.

"I LOOK FORWARD TO MY APPOINTMENTS"

Meagan L.

I’ve been a patient for a while now (over a year I think) and I recommend him to people all the time. I look forward to my appointments. Sometimes scheduling can be an issue but it’s worth considering that sometimes his patient’s needs don’t match his schedule and I’d hate to be interrupted if I was very upset about something due to his alarm going off.

He challenges me and listens while giving me new perspectives. He truly is a phenomenal therapist and a fantastic person to have in your corner. Whatever struggles you’re going through, speaking with this guy is a step in the direction you want.

"HE IS VERY DIRECT AND BLUNT, BUT THAT WORKED WELL FOR MY PERSONALITY."

Cassy C.

Mike is an incredibly down to earth and "real" counselor. We went to him for marriage counseling, and Mike gave us great tools and got us talking about things in straight forward ways that no other therapist had. He is very direct and blunt, but that worked well for my personality. Unfortunately our marriage did not work out, but Mike still gave us tools to work through the divorce mostly amicably. Highly recommend Mike if you can handle the blunt and honest truth.

“BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE ENCOUNTERED MIKE IN THE COURSE OF OUR STRUGGLE.”

David W.

Several years ago we discovered that my sister was self-medicating for a complex underlying issue. Our family fought for her, but we faced an uphill battle for which we were woefully unprepared. By the grace of God, we encountered Mike in the course of our struggle.

Mike saved my sister.

He gave my parents back their daughter, he gave me and my siblings back our sister. He was there for us in her, and our, deepest struggles. My sister's condition was difficult to properly diagnose, and it's even more difficult to successfully treat given the level of commitment it requires of the patient. Many professionals are reluctant to give it - even when they're certain that it's the right one.

Mike did.

And the difference was both joyous and fast. Sadly, we recently lost her to a sudden accident beyond anyone's control. And, while my sister, my parents' daughter, is gone, know that Mike saved her when we were convinced she was lost. And, though we would have never given up, Mike brought her back to us whole. Her passing was sudden, but, know that our family is beyond grateful for what he has done.

No counselor is a fit for everyone. Be sure to take the time to get to know yours. But know that Mike is outstanding. Give him a chance, get to know him, and he might save you too.

“WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY SEEN GOOD RESULTS FROM HIM”

Pat R.

I am a psychiatrist in Mansfield. Our office frequently refers patients to Michael Carney. I feel he does an excellent job as a therapist. We have consistently seen good results from him and I feel strongly that he is a valuable asset in our community. He works very hard to ensure that goals are set and that there is a reasonable plan in place to achieve those goals. I recommend him highly for many of my patients and he is one of just a handful of therapists that we will refer to outside of our own office.

“MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER REALLY LIKES HIS DIRECTNESS”

Amy

Nice guy!! Seems to really know what he is talking about. Uses a call service to schedule appointments so sometimes hard to get him on the phone. My teenage daughter really likes his directness. She's stopped using drugs for now and we thank mike for helping us. He is our 3rd counselor and seems like our last. I recommend him to friends and coworkers. Reviews all look promising.

“HE GIVES HOPE TO THE HOPELESS”

Elianah W.

Mike saved my live. Speaking only from personal experience, he gives hope to the hopeless, makes sure his clients are comfortable, and provides excellent tips techniques to potentially reverse years of maladaptive habits his clients have developed to cope with stress and trauma.

If you are the type of person who has never quite "clicked" with any particular therapist, Mike is the guy for you.

“MICHAEL BY FAR KNOWS MORE ABOUT ADDICTION”

Jill B.

It’s very hard for me to read someone say he knows nothing about addiction. I have been to several counselors and Michael by far knows more about addiction. He has taught me very good things in regards to relationship. If you want the truth and not have someone bs you then he IS the counselor to see.
