Michele Bussell

My communication style

My communication style is calm, cordial, and welcoming. Building rapport takes precedence over any specific method. I provide a safe space to openly navigate emotions with unconditional positive regard and without judgment, embracing all facets of who you are.

My journey to mental healthcare

My decision to become a therapist stemmed from a profound desire to assist and inspire individuals to become the best versions of themselves. I am capable of maintaining hope for people until they are able to do so for themselves.

My goals for you

I help clients identify how symptoms are impairing their functioning and collaborate with them to create specific, measurable, achievable, and realistic goals using their strengths.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on building rapport by discussing your recent feelings, the onset of these feelings, and your coping mechanisms. We will explore the reasons you sought therapy, past helpful strategies, and your goals. This helps us create a tailored treatment plan.

I identify as...

• Female
