Dr Michael Mahon

Dr. Michael E. Mahon is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Professor, Author and, Professional Speaker who has been practicing individual, adolescent and couples psychotherapy for twenty years. He has been in the field of behavioral health for thirty years. Dr. Mahon has taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels at Missouri Baptist University, Webster University (where he directed the graduate program in counseling psychology) and currently at Washington University. Dr. Mahon believes that the ability to regulate emotion is the core requirement for good mental health. Michael’s ability to relate complex biological and psychological concepts in no nonsense language that is understandable for the lay person is his greatest strength as an educator and a therapist.

Mike began public speaking early in his career and has presented to large audiences of corporate executives, educators and parents. His ability to engage an audience in plain language and hold their interest made him successful. These skills translated well to the radio when in May of 2016 Mike made an appearance on the Dave Glover Show to speak about his own history with addiction. Because of the overwhelming positive feedback Dave asked him back and Mike soon became a regular on the DGS. The success of those segments lead directly to the development of the radio show Psych with Mike.

The Psych with Mike radio show ended in December of 2017 after a family medical crisis. Mike and Brett decided to bring the show back as a podcast in late 2018 to be able to reach even more people than terrestrial radio is capable of. After a brief but steep learning curve the shows audio quality evolved to be on par with that of any professionally produced program.

Mike lives in Jefferson County Missouri with his wife and two dogs. He has an adult son who is married and has a successful career in the auto industry and a daughter in medical school.
