Mike Faiola, AMFT

My name is Mike Faiola. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. A native of Los Angeles, I deeply value the cultural diversity that characterizes our city. I have nearly 20 years of experience working as a case manager, residential counselor, and classroom teacher with unhoused, foster, and low-income youth throughout LA County. My professional history also includes extensive work in the film and television industries, where I’ve experienced the profoundly connective potential of sharing our unique stories. I love music, food, books, the outdoors, and learning about other people. I aspire to collaborate with clients to create a therapy space within which we can be vulnerable, discover new aspects of ourselves, and, yes, even have fun. I have experience with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I am committed to maintaining an inclusive practice wherein clients of all identities can pursue their goals free of judgment.
