About me

I am a therapist licensed in Michigan with over 3 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD, and addiction. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive therapy. 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 change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Michelle Lake. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have been working with Michelle for almost a year at time of writing and she's been absolutely fantastic from the first meeting. She really listens and knows just how to make me think with gentle questions, which I appreciate. I've come a really long way in my mental health journey thanks to Michelle and I can't recommend her enough. I was on the fence of whether or not therapy was for me before, but now I know it is for me and I found the best therapist for me.

She's great. She's always trying to help out her people and give them space while not being too coddling

Michelle approaches all conversations with empathy and awareness, and asks the hard-hitting (but applicable) questions that lead you toward shaping your own reality and healing!

She’s so empathetic and really listens to you. I like how she takes the time to make sure you’re getting what you need and it doesn’t feel forced. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who really cares about what they do. She does and it shows.
