Michelle Downs

My communication style

My sessions are casual and friendly. I work hard to build trust so clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in a safe environment. I work at my client's pace, with the occasional gentle nudge when they feel stuck. Therapy doesn't need to be intimidating.

My journey to mental healthcare

After spending many years in the corporate and academic world, I desired a career that enabled me to form connections with others, assist them in flourishing, and help them overcome their obstacles. My personal experiences seeking help during tough times have helped me establish a practice rooted in compassion and empathy.

My goals for you

Creating realistic, measurable goals in therapy is a collaborative process. I like to work with my clients to identify honest goals that will help them feel successful in treatment.

Our first session

During our initial session, we will connect and explore your reasons for seeking therapy services. The primary focus will be on assessing your needs and establishing your goals.
