Long Beach, CA 90807 (Online Only)
I incorporate several therapeutic approaches in my work with clients including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, person-centered, strength-based, all while maintaining a trauma informed care perspective.
Sometimes it doesn't simply "go away". Sometimes you physically feel it in your body, you notice it in the way you carry yourself, you question why something that once had no emotional charge for you, bothers you down to your core today. Are you struggling with managing difficult emotions? Maybe unhelpful thoughts consume your day to day life. I have success working with individuals ranging from teen to the aging population, in areas including but not limited to anxiety and depression management, posttraumatic stress, self esteem issues, and difficulty adjusting to life transitions.

Hi there, I'm Michelle, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in Theatre Arts. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and children in a variety of settings. I prefer to work with populations 18 years and older, specifically dealing with anxiety/depressive symptoms. My approach to psychotherapy varies and is dependent on "where the client is" as well as what the situation calls for. Although I prefer Family systems, Existential and Person-centered approaches toward therapy, I am flexible with respect to my approaches and often merge theatrical and theoretical techniques.

Mountain View, CA 94043
I use an eclectic approach in my therapy and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, person-centered, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing.
Navigating life stressors can be overwhelming and difficult for children, adolescents and parents. Watching a child struggle with mental health concerns can be difficult to know where to get additional help, and know how to approach behaviors at home. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe place that will allow children and adolescents to feel comfortable to talk about what is bothering them and learn how to cope with their stressors, as well as help parents feel like they can understand their child in their individual needs.
