Michelle Laver

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always gravitated towards helping others. I am a foster and adoptive parent of a special needs child and have worked with adults with autism and special needs. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves and feel privileged to be a part of their journey.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is client-centered, all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will work together to set goals and define what progress would look like for you.

Our first session

In our first session, we will spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I will ask questions to better understand some of the reasons you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building an initial connection and helping me get a sense of where we should go from there.
