Read More about Michelle

As a clinician, my goal is to create a safe environment where you can explore the healing process and rediscover your true, authentic self. I work from a strengths-based model that empowers you to cultivate your own strengths, goals, and passions and grow the confidence to overcome current struggles while increasing your ability to cope in future situations. My non-judgmental and affirming approach is based upon a genuine, empathetic, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Through my own recovery journey, I have learned how empowering it is to feel heard, accepted, and supported in a safe environment.  Remember, you are not a broken person to be fixed, rather someone that deserves compassion and healing. I am here to act as an emotional anchor while we collaborate to help you rediscover your authentic self.

I have had the privilege of working with a wide array of individuals in residential dual diagnosis programs, intensive outpatient programs for adults who struggle with substance use and mental health issues and provided reintegration services to formerly incarcerated individuals. I recognize that therapy is not a one size fits all approach and draw from various modalities and techniques-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and more-to meet each person’s unique needs.

Michelle obtained a Master of Social Work degree from Texas State University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas Tech University. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas with over five years of experience.

I believe in meeting each client in the here and now, only accessing past experiences when necessary. I believe in taking the journey with each client and acknowledge that they are the expert of their own story. It’s important to focus on the strengths, motivation and desire to change. It’s difficult to recognize that we all need guidance and non-biased perspective then taking the steps to seek support with making changes. I hope to empower each client to be their advocate and to provide coping skills in order to allow them to handle situations as they arise.

Soy terapeuta bilingüe y ofrezco servicios en español para aquellos clientes que estén interesados. Sin embargo, deben tener un intermediario para completar el formulario de ingreso, documentos de seguro médico y poder llevar acabo comunicación continua sobre facturación o su estado de cuenta, ya que nuestro personal de administración no habla español.
