Hello!
My name is Michelle. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Vermont. I graduated from the College of St. Joseph in 2017. I have been working on an inpatient psychiatric unit for the past 5 years. Of those 5 years, I have been a Behavioral Health Clinician for the past 3. I have experience working with adults, families, and group therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and substance use. I have worked with many individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is interactive and direct. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution focused, and motivational interviewing counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
