About me
Using a contemporary strength-based integrative approach as a basis for therapy, I fit each therapy to the client. Areas of expertise include personal crisis and trauma, academic or educational issues, social skill training, stress and anxiety management, life coaching, relationship dialogues, military-related issues, parenting, and blended families. I approach each client with empathy, support, trust, and persistence, working with each client to increase confidence and self-esteem, develop richer relationships, and achieve emotional balance and health.
Sometimes all we need is a different perspective, which is a unique ability that I offer that often allows the client to achieve a growth mindset.
I became a therapist to support clients as they navigate complex environments to encourage growth for a healthier life. I believe my strengths-based integrative approach will help clients achieve goals they aspire to achieve.
I look forward to working with you

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Michelle (MiKi) Kitchen. 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.
She’s awesome.
Dr. Kitchen is a wonderful therapist. She’s helped me grow into a better version of myself
It’s been a really long time since I have felt genuinely this happy, and that’s saying a lot because this summer…this life…hasn’t been easy, but I am so grateful that I was the one chosen to live it. Thank you for everything.
She is very kind and has unique ideas. She also respects the way I want to progress and talk about therapy.
She has exceeded every expectation and continues to help me through various issues I am struggling with. I don’t think I could have made it through a very difficult time in my life without her.
I love that Dr. Kitchen listens and allows me to simply feel the emotions that I am experiencing. She communicates how to apply in the moment techniques to help minimize the stress that emotions or thoughts can produce if left out of hand. I am very holistic in my lifestyle and she respects that and incorporates it into our sessions.
Dr. Kitchen is always very helpful. Anytime I come to her she responds as quick as she can (I get we all are people with lives) I always get a response same day. She has given me many tips that have helped for any issue I bring to her and she is helping me. I may not utilize everything better help offers but she doesn't shame me for it or pressure me. She just works with me and the way I do things and doesn't judge or lecture me. She just let's me take my time and go at my pace which is honestly is the reason I'm sticking with it.
Excellent- very helpful!!
Love Dr. Kitchen! She has given me so many strategies to help with my anxiety and has helped so much!
I connected with Dr. Miki on the first session which made me feel compatible on a whole new level than I ever have with a therapist before. Thank you!
She’s so sweet and understanding. She emphasized that she wants to get me out of my comfort zone and learn new styles of coping
