About

Meet Mike

I'm Mike Fleg, a licensed therapist. I work with couples the way a good coach works with an athlete: high expectations, practical skills, and genuine care — not endless talking about feelings, but actual change you can feel in how you handle the hard moments.

My work is grounded in neuroscience and attachment theory, and shaped by training in some of the most effective relational modalities in the field. I believe love isn't a feeling you fall into and then hope for the best. Love is a verb — learned, practiced, and repaired.

I help couples get the truth on the table, reduce the defensiveness that keeps them stuck, and build the structures and repair skills that make a relationship actually work.
