Michelle Tharp-Grozinger

My communication style

I like an open communication style that is supportive and non-judgmental. I practice active listening and am empathetic.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always wanted to work in psychology and was drawn to psychotherapy during my undergrad years. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I was an educator with a specialization in literacy and linguistics. I love seeing how psychotherapy is at the intersection of psychology and linguistics, how language influences behaviors and emotions.

My goals for you

Setting goals is an important part of successful therapy. We will work together to set and reach goals that will help you get the most out of therapy and life.

Our first session

At your first session, we will build the background for what is going on presently. I will ask a lot of questions about your daily life and back story, find out about your strengths and interests, and give you a chance to get to know me a bit. The first session is the chance to see if we can connect and help you feel safe with me.
