Michelle Flaum
Counselor, EdD, LPCC-S, DCMHS, CMHIMP
She/Her/Hers
I would characterize my approach to working with clients as both holistic and strength-based. I feel that achieving mental and emotional well-being and healthy relationships requires paying attention to all areas of self: the mind, body and spirit. In addition, I try to help my clients achieve mental, emotional and relational health by building on the strengths already present in their lives. I firmly believe that people have the ability to make positive changes in their lives, and I see it as my job to help clients identify and traverse the steps necessary to achieving these changes.
I conduct sessions in a relaxed setting with an attitude of openness, respect and humor. I believe that counseling is a collaboration between counselor and client, and work to achieve a balance of support and challenge to encourage growth. I have a diverse background that includes business, writing and teaching.
In addition, my interests in the arts help me to be a creative and holistic counselor for my clients. Regarding payment, please note that I DO NOT BILL INSURANCE through my office, but do provide a detailed receipt, including diagnostic codes, for you to submit to your insurance.
