Michael Purcell

Michael (he, him) is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who joined the Wellness Center in 2009. He works to help DU students with access to quality healthcare and is especially committed to supporting those students who have felt marginalized due to race, ethnicity, financial limitations, spiritual beliefs, gender, age, sexual orientation, and physical appearance or disability. Michael values collaboration in his clinical approach and seeks to help his clients recognize and utilize their strengths in overcoming obstacles in their lives. He strives to provide an atmosphere of genuineness, empathy, and care, so that clients feel safe enough to share of themselves. In addition to counseling students directly, Michael is proud to oversee the training and supervision for our great counseling team comprised of clinical professionals and graduate interns.
