Hi, I’m MICHAEL
I work with high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and veterans to assist them in overcoming trauma and PTSD in a single visit.
Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, I grew up independent and optimistic about the future. From a young age, I knew that I wanted to live an optimal life and I knew that there had to be a way for others to do the same. I have always been a dreamer who mixed that with an intensely hard work ethic, passion, and action.
Hi, I’m MICHAEL
I work with high-achieving professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, and veterans to assist them in overcoming trauma and PTSD in a single visit.
Born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, I grew up independent and optimistic about the future. From a young age, I knew that I wanted to live an optimal life and I knew that there had to be a way for others to do the same. I have always been a dreamer who mixed that with an intensely hard work ethic, passion, and action.
After high school, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work. In pursuit of mastering my craft and to fully understand the industry, I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC).
After years of practicing as a Psychotherapist throughout my career, I became frustrated at the minimal results that traditional therapy models produced and the length of time it took to produce them. I grew tired of performing 60-minute sessions with people while only getting variable results due to the common methodologies taught and practiced in the industry. I knew deep down inside that there had to be a way to get top level results for people so they could have the ability to live an optimal life.
I wanted to CHANGE LIVES and create real and lasting transformations for people.
I went on to study other methods of healing, transformation, and change. I learned of the profound, sustainable effects that brain optimization had not only on myself but on my clients too. It was during this time that I knew that I would make a drastic pivot to have a lasting impact on those I served.
In my quest to heal trauma and PTSD survivors, I created & developed The Cortina Method (TCM). Now, I have guests flying in from all around the country and others from around the world seeking TCM to overcome trauma, PTSD, and other life challenges.
I also host national trainings where I teach practitioners The Cortina Method to create maximum impact, emotional wellness, and healing for their guests. Not only have I helped thousands of people and have thousands of success stories, but my work has also been featured in ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, CW, and 400+ publications and media outlets.
I truly believe that I’m just getting started on this lifelong journey to help millions of trauma and PTSD survivors experience life-changing and lasting results so they can live an optimal life. A life filled with brain optimization for peak performance & emotional wellness.
With the proper healing intervention, I’m convinced that people everywhere can live the life of their wildest dreams.
Optimize your brain,
optimize your life.
