Michelle Maguire, LCSW — Therapist in Missouri

Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I believe trust, compassion, and respect are essential for effective treatment. I will create a safe and non-judgmental space for healing and change.

My focus

My clinical experience spans clients of all ages and backgrounds. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I am committed to understanding your unique story and supporting you through the therapeutic process.

My approach

I provide a client-centered and holistic approach to therapy. I believe each person is unique in their needs and life experiences. I will utilize attachment-based theories and techniques, and other modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness strategies.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and personable. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable and valued. I pride myself on the ability to listen attentively without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have an innate ability to listen and provide care to others. I chose the counseling profession because I believe individuals are impacted by their life experiences and the environment in which they live. I was eager to learn clinical skills to promote wellness for myself and others.

My goals for you

The therapy process begins with trust and rapport building. I will learn what issues brought you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish through a collaborative approach to healing and change.

Our first session

What you can expect in the first session is to be welcomed with a warm approach and genuine concern for your therapy needs. I will actively listen and provide validation and support as you share your concerns and hopeful outcomes for therapy.
