Michele Armenia, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Michele!

I love helping children, adolescents, and adults find their best selves while providing support, reassurance, and guidance as needed.

My focus

I typically work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, developing social skills, life transitions, and ADHD.

My approach

I use a blended approach that incorporates different theoretical perspectives. This integrated method balances emotional depth with action-oriented strategies and cognitive restructuring, giving you a comprehensive therapeutic experience that fosters growth, practical change, and emotional well-being.

My communication style

I have an uplifting and welcoming tone that helps create a safe and inviting environment. I believe clients feel supported, valued, and heard when working with me. While the focus is on your thoughts, I help you challenge them to empower yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially pursued a different career path but fell in love with counseling after taking my first class. That discovery led me to explore the field more deeply and ultimately commit to becoming a therapist.

My goals for you

I find that asking what your hopes are for therapy and including you in goal-setting works best. When you bring concerns to the table, I reflect what I hear to help us establish realistic goals together.

Our first session

During our first session, I want you to feel hope. You have found someone who is not only going to listen but also help give you the tools needed to find success in your everyday life, currently and in the future.
