Frequently Asked Questions
Are you qualified to offer supervision services?
Yes! HarborPointe Therapies is overseen by Dr. Jason Vannest, a PHD-level clinical counselor that has significant experience in supervising LPC candidates.
What is the structure of supervision, including the frequency and format of meetings?
You will attend four hours of supervision each month, which can consist of a single 4-hour session or spread out across several sessions. We offer four supervision classes each month, one in-person, and three more offered virtually. Classes typically include 4-10 participants plus the supervisor, which provides many opportunities for thoughtful dialog, learning, and expert feedback.
How much does supervision cost?
Participants spread out the cost of supervision into monthly payments of $100, which is a very affordable way to complete your 100 hours. If you consistently complete 4 hours a month, you will complete your required supervision hours in 25 months.
What is your supervision style and theoretical orientation?
HarborPointe Therapies uses a collegial style of supervision that offers participants mixed perspectives and rich feedback from a group of practice professionals already working in the field.
In which areas of counseling do you have supervision experience?
Dr. Jason Vannest has extensive experience both as a clinical field practitioner and also from working within a school counseling environment.

Mike Lamerato
Mike has been serving the greater Detroit area as a therapist for nearly 15 years. His passion for helping others traces back to childhood, where curiosity about human behavior and a natural instinct to look out for others shaped who he would become. In adulthood, he first specialized in post-traumatic stress before a pivotal moment at a men's retreat led him to his true calling — men's work. He noticed that despite their differences, men tend to share familiar pain and develop similar coping patterns. Finding little in the way of specialized men's care in Michigan, Mike set out to change that, and it has been his privilege to create spaces where men can heal.
Outside the therapy room, Mike is married to his wife Laura and is dad to two Goldendoodles, Luna and Lucy. He stays active through working out, fly-fishing, camping, backpacking, concerts, and traveling out west. He also has plans to build his own off-grid retreat space on Beaver Island, Michigan. Mike looks forward to the next 15–20 years of providing top-level men's care.
