Michelle Oden

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began with a deep-seated desire to support individuals navigating the complexities of chronic illness and depression, or anxiety that may be associated with that.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership, and we will work collaboratively to achieve your goals. Together, we’ll create a tailored plan that takes into account your unique needs, strengths, and challenges. I will empower and encourage you to take an active role in your treatment by providing you with the tools and support you need to succeed.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Therapy is a process, and we’ll continue to build our work together over time. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment.
