About Bright View Counseling

Meet the Team

Bright View Counseling was founded in 2020 by Michael Clark-Borenstein LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with the mission of bringing a better counseling experience to the people of Charlotte, North Carolina.

In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, therapy and counseling have become more essential than ever. If you or your child have been struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, work or life-related stress, behavioral changes, or simply adjusting to life’s ongoing challenges, you are not alone.

Bright View Counseling is bringing mental wellness to the forefront in the Charlotte area. We are currently offering sessions in person as well as online teletherapy. We continue to provide our clients with the best counseling and therapy possible.

We’re breaking the traditional mold of talk therapy and counseling and bringing a new, brighter idea of what therapy could and should look like with our ‘Therapy With A Twist!’ approach. Our therapy approach is holistic, humanistic, and person-focused. We bring the power of the natural world into the therapeutic process.

We take walks outside, participate in outdoor activities with clients, and integrate activities and games. We also get a helping paw from our office dog, Charlotte, who comes into sessions to provide a furry friend to hug, pet, and receive emotional support from. We’ve adopted all of these practices to continue to work with teletherapy as well. We take virtual walks, have outdoor virtual sessions, and have even participated in virtual fishing!

Our outlook on the client-therapist relationship differs from other counseling services. At Bright View Counseling, we forge a trusting relationship with clients. Therapy can be an intimidating process for new clients. We strive to create a casual, comfortable environment where our clients can feel safe and free to express themselves honestly and openly without fear of judgment.

Face Tomorrow With A Brighter View!

If you have been considering counseling or therapy for you or your child, now is the best time to get started.

Professional therapy and counseling aren’t just for those who have a mental illness; they’re for everyone.

It’s never too late to start working towards a brighter future for yourself. Bright View Counseling proudly helps clients throughout the greater Charlotte, North Carolina area.

One of the most significant barriers to starting therapy for most people is cost.

Our practice is working towards becoming in-network for several major insurance providers. We currently work with Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. If you want to know more about what insurances we accept, give us a call!

If you're ready to give a different kind of therapy a shot, give us a call at Bright View Counseling!

We would love to schedule a time to talk to you more about how we can help! We serve clients throughout the Charlotte, NC area, providing quality depression therapy and counseling!

Get a brighter view of tomorrow with Bright View Counseling!
