Michael Collins Psy.D.

Michael Collins, Psy.D. provides effective therapy for adolescent and adult clients in Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo Beach.

Dr. Michael Collins is an engaging and dynamic therapist who quickly built an overflowing practice with an unusually high referral rate. Mike works with a variety of clients, including adolescents and typical twenty to forty something men and women. In addition to common struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma or addiction, many of his clients are facing some form of relationship issue and are shocked to realize that he disagrees with them and that finding the right guy or girl will actually not solve all of their problems. However, he does offer a solution: by helping clients learn to understand themselves he teaches that lasting change comes from within, not from external sources. Beyond private practice, Michael is on the Board of Directors for the Surferâs United Recovery Foundation, and supervises interns and trainees in private practice. Dr. Collins still makes time to surf at least five days per week and is passionate about painting. Evidence of both can be found in his offices, every wall of his house, most of his friendâs houses and one small gallery in Hermosa Beach, California.
