Michael Watson II
About
Hello and welcome! Thank you for visiting my profile. My name is Michael D. Watson II, and I am currently a licensed psychologist in Arkansas. I have been working with children and young adults with neurological needs for 21 years. I love helping people find their "why" in life and helping families support their family members with neurological needs. My goal is to you help you identify ways to be your "best' self while you navigate the day-to-day challenges of life.
My motivation from this work started early on in my career when I began working with a child with severe symptoms of Autism. My experiences with him and his family pushed me to want to learn ways to support individuals with Autism and their families. His lessons have helped me work with hundreds of individuals with Autism. I have also learned a lot about myself through this process. I understand how I need sensory regulation through activities like working out or getting on a boat and feeling the motion of the water. I also understand how after meeting the demands of being with people all day I need a break. These are just a couple of things that I have learned along the way, and I hope that I can help you find ways to help you manage your day-to-day grind.
I am from the school of behavior. Therefore, I really want to help you find out the function of your behaviors and why you do what you do in situations that may be challenging. This will help you with clear, objective goals that can be obtained in short-term and long-term timelines. I believe that you know what's best for you. I just want to collaborate with you on how to obtain these goals.
