Mike Lubofsky, J.D., M.A., LMFT, is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading psychotherapists specializing in the treatment of attorneys. With a distinguished academic foundation—including a Juris Doctor (with honors) from Boston University School of Law and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley—Mike brings a rare and powerful integration of legal acumen and clinical insight to his work. Over the past two decades, he has cultivated deep expertise in both the courtroom and the therapy room. Mike’s early career as a practicing attorney and litigator laid the groundwork for his transition into psychotherapy, where he now helps attorneys navigate the often-unseen psychological toll of high-stakes legal work.

Mike is the founder of AttorneyTherapists.com, the first national directory of psychotherapists who are also trained attorneys, as well as LawyerTherapists.com, which offers specialized clinical training for therapists seeking to work with legal professionals. In his private psychotherapy practice, Mike blends cognitive-behavioral, existential, Gestalt, and mindfulness-based interventions to support attorneys dealing with perfectionism, burnout, identity diffusion, and disconnection from meaning. His work is further distinguished by his current appointment as a Mental Health Hearing Officer for the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, where he conducts judicial hearings under California Welfare & Institutions Code Sections 5250 and 5332, assessing psychiatric patients’ rights and treatment capacity.

In addition to providing individual and couples therapy, Mike is the innovator behind “Therapy on Demand,” a HIPAA-compliant service offering asynchronous, high-accessibility care to busy professionals. He has presented to leading legal organizations including the American Bar Association and American Immigration Lawyers Association, and his work has been featured in The National Law Journal, American Lawyer, and San Diego Lawyer Magazine. With his unmatched blend of legal and clinical expertise, Mike Lubofsky stands at the forefront of a national movement to bring compassionate, effective, and culturally attuned mental health care to the legal profession.
