I guide clients through exploring options, making decisions, setting goals, and planning next steps towards a more meaningful career through personal branding and focusing on your strengths. I use my unique frameworks to organize what feels like a chaotic process so you won't feel lost or alone.

When I was a young woman, I chose to try counseling as a way of dealing with my problems. I was stuck and didn't know what else to do. Counseling changed my life. As a result, I became a counselor years later. I especially enjoy walking with clients through whatever life issues and challenges they have, whether it's a loss of joy, grief over the death of a loved one, a divorce or simply feeling overwhelmed with daily life. I'm a good listener. Hope you will contact me for an appointment.

Experience peace and achieve lasting change through compassionate and individualized treatment. Welcome, I am Dr. Michelle Viro, Licensed Psychologist with 20 years of extensive experience dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults and families, who have a wide range of concerns from daily stress to serious mental health complications, make transitions through life to become fully functioning. My approach combines cognitive, behavioral, social, and developmental psychology to address issues that interfere with attaining your true potential while navigating life's path.

There are times in our life where we come across struggles and challenges. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in past trauma, have toxic relationships or self-esteem issues, which affects one's quality of life. We all want to have a safe place to explore thoughts, feelings and emotions without being judged or blamed. I earned my masters at The University of Texas at San Antonio. I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples.

Alleviating symptoms while providing an increase in positive thoughts and feelings is a holistic focus towards wellbeing. We may feel stress, frustration, anger, or fear that can cause our lives to become unbalanced. Guiding clients to explore and identify problems while searching for solutions will empower individuals to take control of their lives. Additionally, practicing techniques in finding meaning, gratitude, and hope can influence a person’s sense of confidence in things that are difficult to manage or control. Understanding ourselves may be the hardest thing to do, yet alone, communicate what is really going on.

Sometimes it feels like there are mountains in front of us preventing us from moving forward. These experiences may steal our energy and discourage even the most resilient person. Counseling can help. The majority of my clinical experience is in working with survivors who've experienced multilayered trauma, individuals struggling with complicated and unresolved grief and loss concerns, disenfranchised grief, and individuals dealing with relational and attachment issues. Many of my client's struggle with anxiety and are working through vulnerability difficulties with themselves and others.

Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of painful relationships, haunted by past trauma and anxiety? If you're longing for secure, loving, and fulfilling relationships with both yourself and others, I'm here to support you on that journey. Whether you want to address codependency, establish healthier boundaries, improve communication, or heal from the scars of trauma, I provide a nurturing space for my clients to heal and grow.
