Integrative, connected, holistic, and person-centered are just some of the words that I would use to describe my therapeutic approach with my clients. ‍I believe that your body, mind, and spirit are all connected and play a crucial role in your healing journey, and understanding this connection can encourage you to thrive and heal on a deeper level. ‍

I am a Licensed Psychologist and the Clinical Director of Sollars and Associates Integrative Counseling and Psychological Services.

Our group is trained in dealing with a variety of issues including: Attention Deficit Disorder, School Difficulties, Interpersonal Issues such as bullying, adult ADD and related issues, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Mood Disorders, Grief and Loss, Parenting, Educational Concerns, Relationship Concerns, Career and Work Issues, and Sexual Issues.

Hi. I'm Michelle Sheridan. I have over 25 yrs. of experience helping couples and individuals through difficult times, transitions & situations in life. I'd like to help you, if you feel it's "Time For A Change"! I help people to deal with anger, resentment, frustration, depression and overall unhappiness. There's no time like the present to look at what choices you've made in the past & how your past may be affecting today & your future. Learning to communicate in a productive way, finding your voice. I can help you succeed in identifying problem areas, understanding them, understanding yourself and others.

I've been in practice 25 yrs - with individuals/couples & families -- kids 6+, many teens, college students & adults. I'm shamelessly informal -- no ties or pressed shirts here!. The office is quite unique - - very large, ultra comfy, w/MANY natural oddities... slightly chaotic -- like life! Good strong coffee/tea/soda & munchies always available. Pets welcome. I'm adopted myself, a licensed foster parent, & work with trauma and attachment. I have a multi-cultural family & lived abroad (Africa). I do co-parenting therapy & am also very familiar w/court systems, working with Dr.'s, lawyers, schools and custody issues.

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking within themselves for the answers to the questions. The key to inner healing is partially about asking the right questions. I am best suited to working with individuals who struggle with anxiety; depression; childhood trauma and issues related to being raised in a home with alcoholic parents or family members. I have experience working with parents who have children with disabilities. It can be difficult to be parenting a child with a mental illness or autism. I am person-centered in my approach. I work collaboratively with individuals to help each reach his/her potential.

I have been working with children, families and organizations for over three decades in various forms. From children with special needs, to teaching, to hospice care, to working in schools and organizations, to now working full time as a therapist. In working as a therapist, I have experience working in schools, churches, foster care, CPS, FOC, family relationships, child behavior, parenting, conflict resolution, and leadership counseling. I have worked with children, parents, grandparents, pastors, principals, and others seeking to move in a different direction, or better manage their current situation.

Unhelpful thoughts, unwise choices, honest mistakes, unforeseen change, traumatic pasts… Life will include very difficult circumstances. You may question your ability to change, lack clarity about which direction to go, and doubt whether you deserve something better. Men and women, individuals and couples, have worked with me to: 1) change their understanding of who they are, 2) achieve freedom from unhealthy sexual desires and behaviors, 3) develop a plan to build the life they want, 4) gain clarity about what they want, and 5) repair or reinvigorate their marriage.

Limited Availability for New Clients Jan 2024! Are you feeling exhausted, worried, lonely, confused, overwhelmed, or just want someone to listen? You are not alone. I'm a licensed clinical therapist and I specialize in treating PTSD (+complex trauma) as well as anxiety and depression. I love meeting new people and I would be honored to work together to help you clear a path towards the healthiest version of you!

Do you worry about your child's behavior or emotional health? About your own emotional health? Maybe you are grieving the loss of a child? Take hope, because you have come to the right place. I have been walking beside women and couples struggling with these issues. I have seen many people in your place recover and begin to live more fulfilling and purposeful lives.

Healing begins with the opportunity to give voice to one's inner thoughts and concerns in a safe and non-judgmental environment. This is the foundation for my approach to therapy as a licensed professional counselor. By giving my clients time, space, and gentle guidance to work through their concerns and struggles, I strive to bring to the relationship a deeper understanding of your sense of self and your hopes for change or growth in your future.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs.

Are you here because you are wondering, “Is it time to find a counselor?” The question can be both intimidating and courageous; so, I will share a few thoughts about counseling and a bit about me. If something that I share sparks recognition or connection, then I hope we meet soon. You and your story deserve respect. How will I respect and support you? Through a deep admiration for your uniqueness. With respect as the foundation, we will discover the strategies that empower you and that clear a path forward.

I believe progression towards healing is always possible. The ability to heal is not the problem. It is getting the right help and doing “the work” that creates healing. A big part of the healing is feeling valued, understood, accepted, and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

I am here to help HEAL from whatever it is you may be dealing with. I am willing to help you through whatever it is you are facing. I just want you to know that you are enough! You deserve to get through this! I have years of experience working with those struggling with trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, stress, motivation, adjustment, life skills, coping skills, etc. Sport Performance work is also a passion of mine. As a younger, male counselor, it's easy for me to connect with youth, adolescents and younger adults. However, I have and will work with any population.
