Michelle Filippi-Robb, LPCC, LPC
About me
Hi! I'm Michelle – a 40-something cisgender heterosexual woman with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I co-own a small private practice with my husband (also a therapist), and while we don’t have human kids, we do have multiple dogs who I am over the top with as a proud "dog mom."
While this isn't something typically discussed in therapy, I’m liberal-leaning in my values and have a personal faith, though I wouldn’t describe myself as traditionally religious.
A Few Things to Know:
Therapy Fit Matters: If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s okay! Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re welcome to unassign and continue your search—your comfort is most important.
My Approach:
I practice Person-Centered Therapy, which means:
You set the pace—I'm here to listen, not to judge or direct.
I believe you are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you with empathy and support.
I focus on building trust, validation, and a space where you feel safe to be yourself.
About Me:
I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full-time. This perspective deepens my empathy and reminds me that no two experiences are the same—even when the issues look similar on the surface.
My Style:
I’m laid back and authentic while remaining professional. I don’t typically assign homework or suggest reading, though I might occasionally if it feels helpful.
Who I’m Not a Fit For:
I’m not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD-related symptoms.
My Focus Areas:
Grief of all kinds (people, pets, jobs, life stages, etc.)
Depression
Life transitions (divorce, career shifts, big changes)
Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here if you think we’d be a good match.

Michelle is an excellent therapist. She is really easy to speak to and makes you feel like she is really listening. She understands how life can throw you curve balls. Her insight on how to handle certain situations is extremely helpful. She makes you feel confident that you can get through your problems because you are strong enough.

Michelle is just awesome. She's very down to earth, and a straight shooter in the best possible way. Extremely empathetic and gently made some incisive observations that stopped me in my tracks. She's also funny, and has a relaxed style that I appreciate. She is fantastic, 10/10.
