Dr Michael Krass

Licensed Psychologist

“I have a great deal of experience providing therapy with adults, children and adolescents. Listening well is a priority for me.”

About Me

I work with adults, children, and adolescents, bringing extensive experience to support each unique journey. My priority is to listen deeply, creating a collaborative space where you feel genuinely heard and understood. Together, we can explore challenges, gain clarity, and find practical ways forward. This approach helps individuals across all ages navigate their experiences, fostering resilience and personal growth.

Approach

When we meet, my attention goes to the detail of your day-to-day life and the quieter stories that often steer decision-making. I see clients in Falls Church, Virginia, conducting sessions in English in a calm office where pacing is mindful and interruptions are minimized. Work typically blends careful exploration of longstanding patterns with targeted, practical steps between sessions and periodic assessment to sharpen understanding. This approach tends to suit people facing transitions, relationship strains, developmental questions, or complex mood and trauma concerns.
