Access Mental Health Counseling - Michael Longobardi, LMHC, Master-CASAC

"Michael is a phenomenal couples therapist -- he's humorous and sensitive, but he also knows how to get to work. My partner and I started more than one session without a good idea of where to begin or what to talk about, but not once did we feel like we had an unproductive or wasted session. He consistently helped us dig into root causes and trace them to issues we'd never explicitly discussed, and find tools to communicate more effectively. He's realistic and frank about what a relationship means, and how two people can be imperfect humans, but still have a thriving relationship. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a thoughtful, compassionate, driven therapist who works hard to help his patients."

"I worked with Michael Longobardi in couples therapy for several sessions and words cannot describe how lucky we've been to have him as our therapist. Our rapport made it easy to discuss difficult topics and he was able to lift the mood with his humor and make us laugh. More importantly, Michael was proactive in understanding us, providing strategies, and checking in on whether we've been following through. Each session has been engaging and productive. I've been able to reach a deeper understanding in my relationship as well as myself and I'm so grateful for this experience!"

"My sister, who just graduated med school, actually found Michael on psychologytoday. We had been looking for a therapist for a bit who was really good with OCD. My sister thought Michael seemed perfect, so she told my mom and we set up a call. Immediately I could tell he was just a super cool dude who I’d love to talk to, but it was also very easy to tell that he just wanted what was best for me, whether that was working with him or not. I started regularly meeting with Michael when I was at the lowest point in my life. I had just taken leave from college because I simply couldn’t do it. My grades were failing and it felt like my life was as a whole. I can safely say working with Michael changed my entire life. I’m now the happiest I’ve ever been, even before I started struggling with mental health. Not only did he treat my symptoms, but in doing so he also taught me valuable life lessons that I use every single day in every aspect of my life. I’m not scared anymore. Every challenge or fear ahead of me I run straight towards it, as opposed to cowering away. Taking control of my life in such a manner changed everything. I just wish I would’ve met Michael sooner. The lessons you learn from him are lessons you can never learn early enough, and lessons you will carry with you for the rest of your life."

"I was Blessed to find my therapist Micheal when my life was hanging on by thread in 2022. I was extremely depressed, sad and grieving my mother who passed away 2018. I was feeling hopeless, having uncontrollable crying spells, desperate to talk to someone and get help. Micheal gave me a safe space to just BE and TALK. Throughout my treatment I always felt seen and heard. He gave me a toolbox of practices to apply to my daily life that has helped me. Michael has a special way of leading his sessions, provides perspective and reels you in when you go down a rabbit hole of nonsense. He peels away the layers of your life to help you see things differently. Micheal will make you laugh through tears too, so bring your sense of humor along with tissues. Life is a journey and its YOUR path to discover, we all get by in life with some help from our friends, family and therapist(s) I don't care what anyone says- Everyone needs Therapy!"

"Started therapy to make the most of my work benefits but ended up in a two year journey I’ll remember and appreciate the rest of my life. I learnt a lot about myself I didn’t know and was able to put into perspective the things I did know. I never dreaded the appointments and always looked forward to the sessions. He was hilarious and insightful and I can honestly say that I am a better person because of his help. Thanks for everything Michael!"
