Michelle Stevens

My communication style

My biggest strengths are cultivating a safe therapeutic environment, developing a realistic plan for progress, and offering clients deeper insight into their feelings and behaviors. It's important to me that my client's feel safe in session, and that their experiences are normalized, so that they feel less alone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always considered myself a "helper" in my personal life, so the choice to make it my profession felt natural, and I can't imagine doing anything else at this point. I started doing this work because I wanted to help others feel good about themselves and empowered in their choices.

My goals for you

Goal setting is always a collaborative process that's informed by what you want to prioritize. We'll discuss what you want to work on and develop a plan for how to realistically get there. These goals will be the roadmap that guide our sessions.

Our first session

In our first session together, we'll chat about what you're hoping to get out of this experience and make sure we're a good fit. I'll collect some information for an initial assessment, but I try to make it as painless as possible. We're just two humans having a conversation, so there's nothing to be nervous about!
