Michaela Bicknell

My communication style

I communicate with kindness, respect, humor, and direction. In our therapeutic relationship, I hope you feel supported and challenged. My goal is to foster an environment where you can show up as your whole self, speak openly without a filter, enjoy moments of comedic relief, and experience a dynamic that feels genuine.

My journey to mental healthcare

What brought me to this career was, honestly, experiences with therapy as a teenager that didn't go well. I've dedicated myself to becoming someone I would have gone to for support when I was younger. Being a therapist and supporting people is the only career I've ever been interested in.

My goals for you

I partner with you to set therapeutic goals that feel intrinsically motivating and meaningful. Goals take into account where you are in your journey. Sometimes a goal is simply showing up each week; sometimes it's diving into deeper work.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll focus on getting to know one another and beginning to establish rapport. I want you to get a sense of who I am and consider whether we're a good fit. I'll ask questions to understand where you are in your therapy journey and what you're hoping to gain from therapy at this time in your life.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
