Mike Krepick, LICSW
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who completed a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Washington and a Bachelor’s in Marketing at Boston College. In between undergraduate and graduate studies, I served one year in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps as a Social Worker for people without homes and five years as a high school Campus Minister. Since completing graduate school, I worked as a family therapist at Navos/Seattle Children’s Home for 3 years, helping families of children exhibiting behavioral challenges who were repeatedly disciplined in the juvenile justice system. Prior to starting my private practice, I was a therapist at the Harborview Abuse & Trauma Center for 8 years, where I provided therapy to trauma survivors.
I opened Recalibrate Therapy, PLLC in 2019, eager to start my own business, achieve greater work-life balance, and continue the work I love. I treasure the opportunity to engage directly and deeply with clients to help them meet their goals. I am honored to learn about their diverse histories, amazed by their resilience, and impressed by their determination to change for the better.
I approach therapy humbly, listening first, and exploring clients’ concerns, goals, strengths, and history. Together, we collaborate to prioritize treatment goals and determine a strategic plan to meet them. I strive to be curious, compassionate, hopeful, good humored, and aware of potential biases associated with my social identities (race, gender, class, sexual orientation, spirituality, age, ability, etc.). My approach draws on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT proficiency in: Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Behavioral Activation, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy- PCIT, Triple P for parenting, & Multi-Systemic Therapy- MST), Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Social-Ecological, Social-Justice, and Mindfulness principles.
In my free time, I enjoy coaching soccer and serving on a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at my children’s middle school, hiking, snowboarding, playing lawn sports, listening to KEXP, cheering for Seattle sports teams, walking my dog, and practicing mindfulness meditation.
