Michael Frazier, MS
Ed, LPC

Michael has worked for the last 10 years in treatment communities with
children, adolescents, and families. He has gained valuable experience in working with various cultures; especially minority children and families in the public school system, outpatient services, and residential care. The kids commonly refer to him as “Mr. Mike” and he has an uncanny ability to establish therapeutic relationships with kids who are initially resistant to therapy.
Michael conducts therapy with
children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. He has extensive experience with helping children & adolescents with
oppositional behaviors, self-esteem, anger management, ADD/ADHD, working with survivors of abuse, athletes, and communication within their families. His creative approach to family therapy helps families see past the immediate behaviors of the client and work together toward reaching family goals. Michael also enjoys infusing his passion for athletics with his passion for therapy to help athletes enhance their overall performance. This is evident through his therapeutic running program, RUN4LIFE (www.irun4life.org), and non-profit organization, ICServices (www.icommservices.org).
Michael has conducted several state wide seminars for many social service agencies and youth. He has also been recognized as the "2004 GAHSC Children Social Service Worker of the Year."
Michael earnestly believes that each individual has the power to identify the life that they want and take definitive steps in achieving their goals, and living their truth. He describes himself as compassionately-driven, "solution-focused," and is most influenced by core-energetics, cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and family systems theorists. He approaches each individual by considering them holistically and meeting them at the point of their need, and helping to empower them with a more enhanced life.
Michael's interventions help individuals to enhance their lives based on his 4cus Principles™. Decide, Imagine, Think, and Act, and meditation practices. Albert Einstein said it best, "I’m enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited."
Michael obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education from Clark Atlanta University. When he realized that many of the students that he encountered endured struggles with issues that went beyond the classroom he obtained his Master’s Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from the University of Miami. He sees clients in the Marietta office.
