About Barry Michels
Barry Michels studied at Harvard, went on to law school at the University of California, Berkeley, and then spent three years working at a law firm. After a period in Europe, where he busked with his guitar, he had a spiritual experience and decided to become a therapist. He earned a master's degree in social work (MSW) from the University of Southern California and started his psychotherapy practice in 1986. A few years later he attended a seminar led by Phil, began studying with him, and started using The Tools with his patients.
