Michele Marquis, LMHC — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Michele!

I help clients overcome self-defeating thought patterns, develop self-awareness, and reframe their experiences to improve behavior, self-esteem, and quality of life. My holistic and insight-oriented approach integrates Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support meaningful change.

My focus

I work with clients navigating feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, or a sense of being "other." My practice is inclusive and welcoming. I address anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions, and support clients seeking deeper self-awareness and personal growth.

My approach

I provide compassionate, client-centered, solution-focused therapy that combines psychodynamic insight, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mind-body connection, and spirituality. I focus on understanding your unique story, fostering self-awareness, and exploring connections between past experiences, present challenges, and future goals.

My communication style

I create a warm, safe, nonjudgmental environment. Clients describe my style as empathetic and supportive, balancing gentle encouragement with actionable insights. I foster partnership where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist began with a deep desire to help people uncover their strengths and navigate challenges with greater clarity and resilience. I've always been drawn to human behavior and the transformative power of self-awareness. Witnessing clients make meaningful progress inspires my work every day.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal-setting. Together, we identify short-term and long-term goals that align with your values and aspirations. I emphasize achievable steps, regularly revisiting and adjusting goals as you make progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any immediate concerns. It's an opportunity to build rapport and shape a plan tailored to your needs. I aim for you to leave feeling heard and hopeful about the journey ahead.
