Porn addiction? Sex addiction? Has an affair or sexual behavior put your relationship at risk? Many clients contact me after promising themselves or their partner they would stop, yet finding the behavior keeps returning. If secrecy, porn use, or sexual behavior has created shame, conflict, or a crisis in your relationship, you’re not alone. I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving these behaviors and develop practical strategies for lasting change. Recovery from sex addiction is possible with the right structure, accountability, and support. Contact me to schedule an appointment.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel both hopeful and uncertain. You may be wondering whether therapy is the right choice, whether a therapist will truly understand you, or what the process might look like. In my practice, I strive to create a non-judgmental and safe place to explore your unique needs and assist you in your personal growth. Treatment specializations include anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, grief/loss, medical crisis, trauma, and "secondary trauma"/"compassion fatigue" in the helping professions.

I believe understanding how my client perceives the world is essential to successful treatment. For 30 years I have helped a multitude of individuals and family groupings to find peace, resolution and happiness in many areas of their lives. I am a dedicated therapist who is present in the session and highly committed to honoring and respecting the individuals who have allowed me to work with them. I draw inspiration from Pema Chodron, Virginia Satir and Esther Perel.

My clients and I develop strong working relationships together. And they often express gratitude for the space I make for them to define their authentic self and process the more painful circumstances of their lives. They leave our sessions feeling seen and supported. I do this by meeting my clients where they are, immersing myself in life from their perspective, and providing a caring, gentle presence. My clients are typically working through relationships issues, managing anxiety, depression, and stress, wrestling with identity questions, or navigating a life transition.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or a general feeling of loss? Do you find yourself reacting or having repetitive thoughts like "I'm not good enough" or "something is wrong with me?" Have you found talk therapy to not quite meet your needs? Sometimes, traumatic or stressful life events can cause us to feel disconnected from our environments and misinterpret what is safe/unsafe. In my therapeutic practice, I go beyond talk therapy to hold space for all human emotional experiences and responses. I seek to help you heal and increase moments of creativity, connection, and play in your day-to-day life.

You might feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or painful experiences that are hard to carry alone. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to meet expectations, explaining who you are, or feeling like you don’t quite belong. Many of the people I work with are navigating questions about identity, relationships, culture, or self-worth while making sense of trauma, family conflict, or religious harm. Often, they are searching for a space where they can be fully themselves without judgment, a place where they don’t have to shrink, hide parts of who they are, or translate their experiences just to be understood.

Times of chaos, confusion, and challenge are opportunities for a shift in perspective and meaningful, long-lasting change. We don't often have a choice about challenging circumstances but we do get to choose how we respond and whether or not we grow stronger from the experience! Using a blend of traditional "talk therapy" and alternative therapies (such as mindfulness, somatic awareness, and creative expression) we collaborate for my clients' restoration of their natural wellness in mind, body, and spirit. I can help you become your best self!

You’re ready for real change, not just small insights that fade after a few weeks. You’ve tried traditional weekly therapy but it feels like you only ever scratch the surface. You’re tired of feeling “stuck,” weighed down by anxiety, or past trauma that keeps replaying no matter how much you work on yourself. You want relief that lasts and to feel confident, grounded and free again. You're ready to move beyond coping and into deep, lasting healing.

Have you ever wondered if other people’s lives were as chaotic as yours? Were other people’s families as stressful as yours? Or, do you ever wonder if you are “just losing your mind?” I understand that life is messy and we, as humans, are messy too. Figuring out how to navigate life is serious business, and social media portrayals of “having the perfect life” do not help us tone down the negative self-talk that tends to jumble our thoughts. Would you like to pause all the static in your mind? Would you like to learn strategies to improve your mood, lessen your stress, and create “a life worth living?”

Dealing with life changes can be challenging and overwhelming for anyone. As a therapist, my role is to provide a supportive and accepting setting in which people may gain a better understanding of themselves and find more effective ways to cope. I believe the basis for the therapeutic process is the human connection that gets created. This relationship develops in the shared space and time through an open conversation that allows a deep observation into the challenging issues of everyday life. Together we could identify what serves you, what barriers may get in the way, and find ways to better cope with change and hardship.

Research shows that it is the relationship between the client and the therapist that is the most important factor for success. I work to build a collaborative relationship that is rich, trusting, and productive. I look to encourage curiosity toward our experiences, where thoughts and patterns can be put into words.

Hey! Are you an athlete struggling to feel confident on the field, track, or court? Are you struggling with putting your self-worth in your performance, or with navigating tricky team dynamics? Are you having a hard time dealing with the leadership style of your coach, or with leading the team yourself? Whether you play in college, high school, professionally, or beyond, I can help!
Sports can be hard! And the struggles that you have within sports are often linked to broader patterns or experiences that you have had. Therapy can help by providing a safe space away from your existing relationships to gain perspective and skills.

I am a clinical social worker specializing in individual psychodynamic therapy, an approach that offers deep and lasting psychological growth and change. It is painful to deal with loss, revisit trauma, or see ourselves more honestly, yet in the context of a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, it becomes possible to embark on this journey and to create a full and richly meaningful life. I prioritize empathy, insight and attunement, with the goal of helping you move toward greater resilience, wholeness, connection to yourself and others, and freedom from debilitating symptoms and self-defeating patterns.

I am currently accepting new clients, and I always respond within 24 hours. I partner with adults of all ages who are seeking psychotherapy within a setting that’s able to hold the fullness of who they are and the larger arc of their path. Located on Pickards Mountain at the edge of Chapel Hill, I describe my approach as somatic, depth-oriented, and mindfulness-based. Another term I use is soulcentric. Why? Because the word soul points to the deeper dimensions of one’s life. It evokes the rich, sometimes veiled currents running through our lives and orients us toward our ever-unfolding authenticity and path.

Welcome! I am Dr. Sara Michelson, a licensed psychologist with more than 15 years of experience providing psychotherapy and psychological evaluations. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and insomnia.
My therapeutic style is warm, direct, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take a trauma-informed approach, which means we may explore how adverse or traumatic experiences—as well as your broader life circumstances—have shaped your current symptoms, relationships, and patterns of coping. My goal is to understand these experiences in the context of your whole life, without allowing them to define you.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with individuals and couples. When I begin therapy with an individual, I take time to listen and learn about the sources of their negative feelings or disappointing patterns. As we build a shared understanding of their pain or frustration, we incorporate cognitive, behavioral, emotion regulation or interpersonal skills. I draw on my training in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and emotionally focused therapy to support and guide my patients as they move toward greater resiliency and more adaptive management of symptoms including depression, anxiety, and compulsivity.
