Healing starts to happen when we are seen & heard. You will find an active listener in me; a non-judgmental space to explore habitual patterns of thoughts and behaviors. From there you will see how you can learn to design your life more carefully. We often sacrifice authenticity for connection with others, which might breed a sense of loneliness and resentment. Together we will help you become more true to yourself, to communicate more effectively, and ultimately for you to feel a sense of well-being. I work with adults of all ages.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my two Master degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic Mental Health Leadership from Adler University in Chicago, Illinois.

As an Adlerian alumni, being a social justice practitioner is a must.

My name is Michelle Waters and I am a licensed counselor (LCPC) and art therapist (ATR). My passion is to help people find their inner power and cultivate the true self through art and talk therapy.

Therapy is tough, but embedding art in that process takes some of the pressure off and helps develop positive and healthy coping skills. Some of my favorite materials to work with include ceramics, drawing, comics, painting, crochet, and sewing.
