About Joshua Michaell, M.A., MFT

For more than two decades, I’ve helped individuals and organizations cultivate resilience, steadiness, and a deeper sense of meaning. I am a licensed and board-certified marriage and family therapist. My approach is holistic, drawing from depth psychology, systems thinking, and the timeless wisdom traditions of the East.

 

With a background in yoga and meditation, I bring a contemplative lens to healing—one that honors the mind and emotions while attuning to the deeper harmonics of presence, purpose, and balance.​

In addition to my private practice, I’ve worked extensively with healthcare and technology organizations. I co-founded the mental health program at One Medical, supported Trust & Safety and Child Safety teams at Twitter/X for more than a decade, and currently provide counseling and resiliency support to teams at OpenAI. I also serve as Leadership & Resiliency Advisor for Data Solutions, partnering with senior leadership on culture, well-being, and sustainable performance.

Formal Education

I received my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in the San Francisco Bay Area, and studied East–West Psychology at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. I completed my undergraduate studies at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
