Michelle Perry, LMHC, LPC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I specialize in trauma, life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, and co-dependency. I work with clients navigating stressful experiences, recent or multiple losses, and major life changes.

My focus

I often work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. Many of my clients have experienced stressful and traumatic experiences, are grieving recent or multiple losses, or are currently going through a life transition of some kind.

My approach

My approach to therapy is collaborative, and I use several different approaches depending on the needs of the client. These include CBT, DBT, EMDR, Person-Centered, and others.

My communication style

My communication style is very laid back. I enjoy using humor when appropriate, and I enjoy connecting with my clients on a human-to-human level. My clients often tell me that I have made them feel seen and heard, sometimes for the first time.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love being a therapist. I began my career working as a medical social worker in nursing homes. I then worked in the field of hospice as a social worker and as a bereavement therapist. I love connecting with other humans and working together for positive changes in their lives.

My goals for you

We talk about goals in the first session and then throughout the course of therapy. I believe that goal setting should be a collaborative experience between the therapist and client.

Our first session

During the first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals for therapy. I will explain my approach and ask some assessment questions about you so that I can know how to help you meet your goals. Together, we will come up with a plan on how to move forward in the therapy relationship.
