Michael Flynn  Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Michael Flynn , Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, 204586 is practicing under the supervision of Kelly Barnett (Texas, LMFT-S, 201242) at Counseling for Peace, PLLC.

Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.

While serving as a lay pastor, I occasionally recognized that my congregants needed more assistance than I felt qualified to give; so, I referred them to professional counselors. I learned that affordable counseling was not readily available. So, upon retirement from the military, I used my veteran benefits to get professional training. I now provide affordable counseling: $90 for 90 minutes of therapy.

As the oldest of my mother's eight children, I was raised by two stepfathers. My wife and I have been married 43 years; we have 6 children and 16 grandchildren. As a family man, public servant, and lay pastor, I have regularly worked with individuals, couples, and families to improve their relationships.

I work primarily with couples who want to enhance their relationships. I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy to assist partners in disarming conflicting verbal communication; increasing intimacy, respect, and affection; removing barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and creating a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of their relationship.
