Hi there! I’m Michelle Ficalora, and I’m a mental health clinician intern here at Positive Inner Self, working towards becoming a LCSW. I’m currently a Clinical Social Work Associate. My pronouns are she/they, and I am trauma-informed and LGBTQIA+ allied. I specialize in working with clients of all ages, helping to address both the symptoms and root causes of your stressors in individual or group sessions. I’ll help guide you on the way to reaching your goals, using humor, play, and light physical engagement to keep things moving.
I utilize interventions from DBT and Trauma-Focused CBT, as well as family systems therapy and narrative therapy. In practice, this translates to a holistic, autonomy-focused, and mindful approach, where I work alongside you in a way that highlights your strengths and interests. We will work together to come up with goals you want to work toward.
I strive to foster that relationship by meeting you where you are, both physically and emotionally. When we meet, you can expect to review your presenting concerns in a relaxed manner, as well as begin to identify treatment goals and develop a treatment plan – this will allow us to determine whether we are a good fit for one another.
