Micheal Franklin
Micheal Franklin is a therapist that came from a blue collar family as each of his family members worked in Textile, Battery plants, and furniture factories. Micheal wanted to go a different path and be the first member of the Franklin' family to have a college degree. Micheal graduated from Western Piedmont Community College in Drug and Alcohol Technology and with an Associates in Arts in 1996 and went onto Gardner Webb University to obtain his Bachelors in Science in Human Services. Micheal realized the job market at the time wouldn't pay enough for him to make his own way in the world so he joined the Marines in 1998. While in the Marine Corps Micheal became married and had a baby boy and needed to increase his income to provide for his family so he sought out part time employment to work with troubled adolescents as well as to provide therapy to teens dealing with addiction related issues. Micheal left the Marines in 2003 and worked with adolescents in a group home for a few years and then became a Prevention Supervisor for adolescent substance use treatment as well as the lead treatment therapist for a Men's IOP Treatment Group at the Cognitive Connection in Hickory, NC. Micheal has taught parenting classes and has worked with Child Protective Services as well. Micheal went to the University of West Florida for his Masters degree in Social Work and worked in Community Mental Health while obtaining his hours for licensure. Micheal also worked in a drug court program for two years as well. Micheal has been licensed since 2014 and has worked with clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, and life's transitions.
