You're overwhelmed,
not broken.
You've spent years fitting into rooms that were never built for you.
The Spectral Method is.
Most therapy wasn't built for the way your mind works. This was — for late-diagnosed adults with ADHD and autism who don't need fixing, just a framework that fits.
Function was never the whole measure of a life.
Michel works with people who can still perform, lead, create, decide, and carry the room, even while privately paying too much for the translation.
The work is direct, structured, and humanistic: restore what has stopped working, then design a life that belongs more fully to the person living it.
Find the Right DoorThree thresholds people bring here.
A protocol that belongs to no school.
Licensed in California and Georgia — in-person in San Diego County, telehealth across metro Atlanta.
Michel’s work synthesizes Frankl, DBT, developmental psychology, and lived experience into a method for people who are tired of being reduced to function.
The point is not to become easier to understand by systems that never saw the whole person — it is to build a life that stops requiring self-erasure.
What clients say.
“Before I worked with Michel I was struggling a lot with accepting who I am authentically. Through working with Michel, I have been empowered to understand the power in being unapologetically yourself.”
“Michel is different in terms of his ability to clarify situations and point you toward self-knowledge, with kindness and encouragement along the way. I have referred several friends and family members to him with great success.”
“Within the first few minutes of talking with Michel, it was clear he was intelligent, well spoken, personable, and fully capable of addressing a broad spectrum of topics at a high level.”
Straight answers.
Do you take insurance?
I accept insurance for telehealth sessions in Georgia, and am private pay only in California.
Therapy vs coaching — which do I need?
Therapy is the door when something has stopped working — burnout, anxiety, masking collapse, or clinical strain that needs containment first. Coaching is the door when you are ready to design deliberately: work, leadership, relationships, and the life you are building. Many people start in one and move to the other. The consultation is where we decide what fits right now.
Is this telehealth or in-person?
California clients can meet in-person in the San Diego County area or by secure video. Georgia clients are seen exclusively via telehealth. We confirm format in the consultation.
What is the Spectral Method?
The Spectral Method is a synthesized framework for high-performing neurodivergent adults — not a single-school therapy package, but work across cognition, sensitivity, identity, physiology, and the full range of how you function. It is built from DBT, logotherapy, developmental psychology, and more than a decade of clinical pattern recognition.
