Albany Therapists

Mike Myers, PhD

Licensed Psychologist

I was born in Texas and grew up in Germany and Texas. I worked as a minister and later worked as an organizational development consultant and college instructor. I have a passion for men’s work, multi-cultural issues, and neurodiversity. When not ‘working’ I love exploring Oregon, photography, bird-watching, and learning about … pretty much everything!

Mike’s Approach

For over 20 years, I have worked with individuals and families dealing with learning disorders like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and other such conditions. I know first-hand how difficult and challenging it can be. I also know that having a ‘neurodivergent’ brain can do a number on a person’s sense of self-esteem. You are constantly being reminded, in a million different ways, that you ‘can’t do things that are ‘simple’ for others.’ So ‘treating’ such conditions involves more than just getting an accurate diagnosis; it involves getting to a place where you feel good about who you are and what you can do. That’s my job. My other passion is helping people get past the limitations that conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, and OCD put on peoples’ lives and getting to the place where they realize who they really are and were always meant to be.
