Michael LeFever, MS, MSW, LCSW
Michael's journey into the world of health and wellness began at the University of Central Oklahoma, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 2008 and his master's in nutrition and dietetics in 2013. It was there that he discovered his passion for understanding the vital link between nutrition and our overall well-being, particularly how it influences both our physical and mental health. His studies ignited a special interest in addressing disordered eating and empowering individuals to reclaim their health.
Starting his career in public health, Michael made significant contributions while working for the State Department of Health. His role involved sensitive tasks like informing individuals about their HIV/STI status and providing essential crisis counseling. He was instrumental in connecting people with the medical and mental health services they needed, all while working tirelessly to break down the stigmas surrounding substance use and HIV.
Eager to deepen his impact, Michael pursued a Master in Social Work, graduating in 2019. His training at Red Rock Behavioral Health Services enriched his experience, especially in supporting those affected by addiction and substance use through both individual and group therapy. Today, Michael extends his expertise to individuals grappling with sexual and gender identity, addiction, substance use, and healing from trauma across the metro area.
Michael's approach to therapy is like a breath of fresh air—open, honest, direct, strengths-based, and centered around you. He offers fresh perspectives and engaging in meaningful conversation to help you find your way. With Michael, therapy feels like a chat with a friend—casual, curious, and always focused on what matters most to you. He's known for his relaxed style creating a cozy space where both of you can dive deep into the heart of the matter, free from judgment and full of understanding.
