Hello!! My name is Michelle Bronster (She/Her) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the field treating a variety of issues from daily stress to significant impairment resulting from mental health issues. I've previously worked with incarcerated individuals providing individual therapy as well as running Dialectical Behavior Therapy based treatment groups.
My approach
I have an adaptive approach to therapy. As life goes on, and as treatment progresses, the client's needs will evolve and may benefit from different approaches. I believe in being non-judgmental, direct, and kind. I will also engage in gentle confrontation as needed.
My focus
At present, I treat clients who are going through life changes, feel overwhelmed/stressed, and have anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
My communication style
I believe I foster open and honest communication with support for the client's experience.
My journey to mental healthcare
I was raised in the field and enjoyed helping others.
My goals for you
I like to have the client be part of the goal-setting process.
My first session with you
General meet and greet with some information gathering to determine if we are a good fit and how we will move forward in the treatment process. I am open to answering any related questions a client may have as well.
