Driven by an unyielding passion to advocate for men’s mental health, Mike Ensley, Counselor and owner of Comeback Story Counseling, is normalizing the pursuit of mental and emotional wellness particularly to a population that may have been previously less likely to consider counseling a resource.
“Men are a lot less likely to enlist someone’s help in this pursuit, and that’s something that I’m very passionate about changing,” explains Ensley.
After his own journey through recovery alongside other men working through similar issues, Ensley realized that these were the relationships that had the most profound impact on his life and he wanted to facilitate similar journeys of healing and connection for others. His goal was to create a space where his patients can have a counseling experience that helps launch them into a new and better chapter. As a result, Comeback Story Counseling was born.
At Comeback Story Counseling, Ensley works with men, women, and teens looking to shake off the burdens of trauma & consuming patterns, restore relationships, and create more fulfillment in their lives in an environment that is both welcoming and challenging. He provides a place where it's safe to explore what's hard, and walks alongside clients struggling with painful emotions, hurtful relationship patterns, trauma from the past, and consuming habits in the present.
Ensley admits, “While the work can be uncomfortable at times, it's worth doing. I didn't just learn that in school--it's a story I've lived, too.”
At Comeback Story Counseling, Ensley and his growing team of therapists are there to help people discover and forge the life that they want. Their approach is centered on engagement of the whole person, utilizing therapies that address the social, psychological, and neurological aspects of every issue.
“My focus is helping my clients launch a new, better chapter so that they go forward into a season of life where they are more equipped and more present and more of themselves in the way they want to be.”
