Michael Craytor, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Professional Information
Michael grew up in Oregon and moved to Alaska after college. He returned to Portland briefly to pursue a career in research and a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience but soon realized that his heart was in working with people in the community. He returned to Alaska where he completed his degree in Community Mental Health, and later enrolled in a doctoral program in counseling psychology. Michael loves the fresh air and the close community feel of living in Seward. He can be found almost always humming a tune, kids think he is silly, and he is always up for a game of foosball.
