Michael Owen, MS, LPC • Licensed Professional Counselor, Director of Clinical Services, Owner of Alarus Healthcare and Alarus Home Health.

As a professional counselor, Michael tailors treatment to each client and applies evidence-based techniques to help people lead healthier, happier lives. Michael offers counseling services in Grafton, West Bend, and Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Serving Washington, Dodge, and Ozaukee Counties. His primary emphasis is on mental health and substance abuse counseling and behavioral services. He highlights clients’ strengths and positive qualities, which provide deeper insight into their lives. 

Michael treats therapy as a collaborative process and acts as a supportive partner attuned to your story. Instead of prescribing solutions, he works with you to identify and pursue the goals that matter most. His reflective, warm counseling style creates a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your challenges and develop practical skills together.

Clinically, Michael addresses anxiety, depression, self-esteem, personal growth, and substance use. He uses a person-centered, trauma-informed, integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). He also utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Narrative Therapy.

Michael primarily offers in-person sessions and provides telehealth when appropriate. Hence, he prioritizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful work. If you’re considering therapy and want to see if you’d be a good fit, Michael welcomes you to reach out.

Michael stays actively involved in the community. He serves on the board of the Washington County Drug Court, leads the Washington County Community Coalition, chairs the Moraine Park Human Services Coalition, and participates in the Dodge County Community Coalition and other peer coalitions.

He earned an AODA degree from Moraine Park Technical College, a bachelor’s from the University of Wisconsin–Stout, and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.
