My Story
Michael is a State Certified Peer Counselor (CPC), and is currently working as a Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee (SUDPT) here at Serenity Counseling Services. Michael is currently working towards earning his Substance Use Disorder Professional license with the State of Washington. His lived experience in the world of addiction, along with his education in Anthropology and Human Services from Highline College, provide him with a unique perspective and skill set to connect with individuals who are facing similar challenges. Michael’s “been there done that” approach allows him to offer empathy, understanding, and relatability to those he’s counseling, creating a sense of trust and rapport that can be incredibly valuable in this field.
