Cedar Park Mindfulness Counseling is a private practice providing therapy for individual adults and with a specialized focus in addressing issues of anxiety, panic attacks, and stress.
If you have tried counseling before but are looking for a different approach, mindfulness-based counseling may be a helpful new take on therapy for you. The benefits of mindfulness practice are backed by science. Research has established that over time mindfulness practice leads to visible changes in the brain. Simply put, different areas of the brain can communicate with each other better. As you work on new coping techniques to relieve symptoms of anxiety or panic, over time the brain will be changing too, and lasting progress can be achieved.

Texas Counseling License #71340
Micah began as a counselor in 2012, gathering experience and training in a wide array of settings, and applying mindfulness in each context. Micah has a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Texas State University, as well as a Masters degree in Counseling from St. Edwards University.
Micah first gained experience as a Career Counselor at Texas State University in 2012. There he helped individuals navigate life direction choices, and taught relaxation skills to help clients take action.
Micah spent the next 4 years working at non-profits providing sliding-scale community counseling, and in many cases working with individuals suffering from severe mental health symptoms. Helping those in need, and without resources, in the community offered an opportunity to connect with the value of public service, while also honing therapeutic skills to be able to address a wide array of issues.
Micah moved to a private therapy group in 2017, and at this time specialized in mindfulness-based counseling. In this setting he focused on helping those struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, and high stress. In 2019 he founded Cedar Park Mindfulness Counseling, as a solo practitioner, serving Cedar Park and the surrounding areas.
Outside of the office Micah is a husband and dad. The family enjoys getting outside in nature with their labradoodle Margot. Micah believes in keeping hobbies to help with life balance; he keeps busy with hobbies including ranch work, forging/smithing, hunting, meat processing/aging, growing exotic peppers, making pepper sauces, spices, cooking, and fermenting.
