My name is Michael Kiser. As a counselor here in the upstate I focus on helping people alleviate suffering and build a more meaningful life through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about learning new ways to perceive problems in order to change how we feel and how we act that often keep use stuck in cycles of suffering. We do this by developing new skills that address both the immediate relief of intense emotions and get at the core of why we do what we do in order to change it.

CBT is one of the most well-researched and studied therapies that has been shown to be effective in alleviating problems in a wide variety of mental health issues. It is often considered to be the “gold standard” in psychotherapy.

I specialize in helping people overcome anxiety, panic attacks, trauma recovery, depression, and behavioral addictions.
