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

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.
Dr. Kitchen has been instrumental in helping me deal with a multitude of issues from parenting tools, to self worth and value coaching, to stress and anxiety management. She is compassionate and relatable and is more of a mentor that helps guide me to showing up as my better self.

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.
