Michael Regula MHC-LP, MA
My experience as a Navy SEAL, teacher, coach, and clinician gives me a unique ability to help driven, professionals, creatives, and first-responders move past what holds them back. I understand the pressures that can unsettle identity, strain relationships, and stall careers. The name of the game is lasting change. Together, we’ll build clarity, direction, and hone tools to live a more intentional and connected.
My approach is collaborative, dynamic, and focused on practical outcomes. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Adlerian psychology, and Narrative therapy, I work with you to understand how your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences shape the patterns and stories guiding your choices. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, we focus on clarifying what matters, challenging unhelpful narratives, and taking concrete steps toward change. Therapy is action-oriented and purposeful—helping you build resilience, strengthen your sense of identity, and move forward in work, relationships, and self-worth.
My clients often include those navigating creative pursuits, high-pressure careers, identity shifts, and relationship challenges. Many are balancing ambition with personal growth and want more focus, meaning, and forward momentum. I also work with clients during major life transitions—post-collegiate, divorce, or just career pivots—those ready to move beyond insight to create momentum and measurable change.

Financial circumstances should never get in the way of quality mental health counseling and therapy treatment. I understand that navigating insurance and other financial options for services can be complex—if not overwhelming. Please note, not all insurance companies are covering telehealth. If they do, they may or may not pay the same rate as in person.
I accept a variety of insurance plans which you can find at the bottom of the NEXT LEVEL Services page.
If you are not covered by insurance, I offer several other affordable options for covering treatment which you can find at the bottom of the NEXT LEVEL Services page, including out-of network insurance, private pay, sliding scale, and Next Level Cares.
Self-pay, non-insurance rates are optional.
