Michael Sugar, LCSW
​
I'm passionate about normalizing the WANT of Mental Wellness instead of the NEED for Mental Wellness with my clients.
​
I've worked with patients in the hospital, community and outpatient settings which helped me hone my technique of tailoring a treatment plan to each client.
​​
I work with families, couples, and individuals looking to address Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Personality Disorders, Co-Occurring Disorders, Family Issues & Trauma.

Background & Qualifications
I've worked with children, adults, couples & families in the outpatient and hospital setting.
I received my Masters Degree from Millersville University and completed my Licensure hours for my LCSW/License of Clinical Social Work while working at UPMC. I have supervised various clinicians helping them get their license and I am a CCTP/Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.



Psychological Home
​My Therapeutic Approach or "Psychological Home" utilizes a Narrative perspective while blending Cognitive, Positive , & Mindfulness models. I use these perspectives to tailor a wellness plan that fits your needs. Each Patient Plan should encourage self exploration while minimize the heavy lifting in therapy. ​​​​
Psychological Perspectives that I often use include:
