Michelle McMillan, LCSW

My communication style

Communication here is direct, thoughtful, and genuine. Active listening is central to our work. You'll have space to share without interruption or judgment. When offering feedback, it's honest and collaborative, not prescriptive. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect patience, calm presence, and authenticity.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey spans over three decades in social work, supporting families through child welfare, housing advocacy, and community development. Throughout all these roles, the focus remained the same: empowering people through their toughest moments. Providing direct therapeutic care is where that work deepens and healing truly begins.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. We start by identifying what matters most to you, whether that's managing anxiety, improving relationships, or navigating a transition. Goals evolve as you gain insight, and we adapt our work together. Progress happens when we interrupt old patterns, build practical skills, and tap into strengths you already have.

Our first session

Your first session is a conversation. We'll talk about what brings you here, what you're hoping to change, and what support looks like for you. If you're new to therapy or feeling nervous, that's completely normal. After three decades of supporting individuals and families, creating a comfortable space comes naturally. We'll move at your pace.
