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.

Reaching out for support is a big step, and when you’re ready, I’ll be right here to walk with you. I genuinely love the work I do — supporting adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate tough moments and discover their own strength. My approach is down‑to‑earth, collaborative, and rooted in real connection. I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported from the very beginning.

I pull from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I’m not rigid about it — I blend what works best for you. Over the years, I’ve worked with people facing substance use challenges, anxiety, trauma, depression, and many other experiences that can make life feel heavy. I truly believe people can grow through hard seasons, and I’m here to offer steady support, honest guidance, and a safe space to figure things out at your own pace.

Whenever you’re ready, I look forward to connecting with you.

Pablo Martinez, LMFT, Clinical Supervisor

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.

As a social worker and prevention counselor, I look forward to getting to know and working with you. I want to help you understand what is happening in your life, find ways to face issues and approach them in healthy and encouraging ways. I have worked with individuals facing complex challenges, including addiction, trauma, grief, and suicide, for over five years. I enjoy working with individuals to learn and understand their circumstances. I use a variety of treatment styles, including Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Every person can have hope, and my goal is to help you find your solutions while empowering you with the skills, strength, and confidence to carry them out.

Creating a strong and healthy therapeutic relationship is important to me as I believe all interactions are opportunities for healing, learning, and growing.

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.
