Michael Reece, CEO

My goal as CEO of A Solution Inc is to make sure that outpatient mental health services are readily available to everyone in our community. Both adults and adolescents need to have these types of services at their disposal and it is my aim to make that happen. Additionally, being able to provide on-site drug and alcohol counseling and education services in high schools and middle schools across 4 different Tulare County School Districts allows for us to reach a lot of kids who might not normally be provided services like what we offer. The more people our business can help, the better. A Solution Inc employs a very strong staff filled with people who’s #1 goal is to help and care for others.

Ready to take the first step towards wellness? Nervous about starting? I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help and face the challenges of life. I see therapy as an empowering opportunity for self-development and growth. Therapy provides you with a safe place to openly express and explore your thoughts and feelings. I am committed to working with people to help them find deeper meaning and fulfillment in their lives. I’ve been a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist for over 10 years. I have extensive training and experience in working with children, adolescents, individual adults, families, and couples. I also specialize in treatment of sexual abuse and trauma related issues.

I strive to nurture a supportive, non-judgmental and safe therapeutic environment. Creating a strong and healthy therapeutic relationship is important to me as I believe all interactions are opportunities for healing, learning, and growing. I am mindful that everyone’s journey towards recovery is not linear and strive to meet clients where they are at. My goal is for clients to gain an understanding of the underlying causes of addiction and help the client recognize their specific triggers and learn coping strategies.
