Michaela Decker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

I am passionate about strengthening our connections in life, whether they are with our loved ones, our communities or within ourselves. I believe that exploring these relationships leads to increased clarity, depth, and harmony, and I am able to help you do so in a supportive environment. Trust is vital to the therapeutic relationship, and will be built within a safe and non-judgmental environment. My approach is warm and humorous, yet direct as needed.  I am consistently honored by the opportunity to work with individuals and families who allow me to be a part of their journey.

I am a proud 3rd generation Sun Devil who graduated from ASU with my Masters of Marriage and Family Therapy in 2010.  After graduation, I spent over a decade serving the community with various non-profit behavioral health organizations as a clinician and a Clinical Supervisor. The experience I gained during this time was invaluable in strengthening my clinical knowledge and expertise. While I have worked with a wide variety of presenting issues, some of my specific areas of specialty include family stress/tension, depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse recovery, grief/loss, parenting support, adult family therapy, and blended family concerns.  While I pull from a variety of therapeutic modalities, trauma-informed and family-systems approaches are cornerstones of my work.  

When I am not working, I am spending time with my husband, two young children, and our Schnoodle Vera. I love trying out new recipes in my Instant Pot (some are successful, some are not), buying books that sit on a shelf for a long time before being read, and heading up North for some fresh air and adventure. I look forward to chatting with you to see if I am good fit for you or your family’s needs.
