Accepting new: MI clients and PA clients- online. Healing is a process and I gently work with individuals and families who are feeling "stuck" in life in areas of boundaries, stress and anxiety disorders, cultural and bi-cultural issues, healing from trauma and relationship issues. My clients have experienced great success in their healing process and in becoming overcomers in broken areas of their lives. With over 20 years of experience, I successfully work with clients of all ages who experience anger, anxiety and trauma, grief and loss.

Hi, I'm Michele. I love what I do and truly believe that we all deserve to heal and live with joy. Many clients I see have been through a recent trauma or feel overwhelmed and anxious for a variety of reasons. They have struggled far too long & have even been discouraged by past therapeutic experiences. If you are struggling, you may feel stuck. It can be a lonely place to be. You don’t have to hold onto it all. Good therapy is relational, interactive and clinically sound. You might cry, but you will laugh find hope and heal.

Life is hard enough, counseling shouldn't be! I provide warm, supportive counseling to people of all ages, both in-person and virtually. Sessions with me are peaceful and nurturing, giving you the time and space to really relax and get in touch with your natural healing capacity. I specialize in families with children under 10, including preschool and younger, offering a variety of play and art activities that help reduce stress and improve coping skills. I actively involve caregivers during sessions and with bonding activities for home.

Utilizing multiple theoretical structures, as well as a holistic approach, my goal is to offer each individual validation as well as guidance toward a shift in either perspective or behavior. This process involves identifying perceptual, emotional, and spiritual barriers and nurturing inner resources. I see the counseling process as the exploration of both our past and current reality as well as what is needed to help us grow into a whole, healthy individual. I have extensive knowledge of family and relationship dynamics, treating adult survivors of abuse, depression and anxiety, the addictions field, and pain management.

Taking NEW clients.Evening appointments available but limited. Currently seeing individuals 18+ ONLY, No couples at this time. Hello! I am a therapist with A Better You Counseling and Wellness, LLC located in Hanover, PA. All aspects of our being, Spirit, Soul and Body) can be impacted by trauma, whether in childhood and/or adulthood. As a trauma informed therapist, as well as going through my own trauma and recovery, I have extensive knowledge, training, and understanding on how trauma impacts a person. I believe that it is my purpose to support and walk with the person on their journey.

Have you asked questions like this? “Why can’t my spouse understand me?” “Why don’t I love you the like in the beginning?” Then you have already started the work of building a better relationship. You are on the path to discovering how powerful healthy relationships are.

Relationships can be hard. Communication can be challenging. Feeling anxious, uncertain, directionless, or out-of-control can feel overwhelming and at times debilitating. It is so easy to become stuck in a cycle of frustration or hopelessness which creates thought loops fixated on these feelings. It can feel impossible to see what lies beyond the immediate struggles we can’t seem to work through. While most of us feel the need to address these struggles, so few of us have the time or energy to “fix” these stuck points and successfully move past them. That’s where I step in to help.

MY PRIVATE PRACTICE IS CURRENTLY FULL. My specialty is coming alongside clients who experience overwhelming anxiety in everyday life situations and helping them learn new ways to approach and defuse the anxiety they experience. I also work with clients with OCD, PTSD, fear of flying, and other life challenges. I see adults and children (11 years and older preferred). When working with children and young adults, I generally use a systems-oriented approach, as I believe you cannot separate a child from the family and environment in which they function. Clients of all gender/ sexual orientation are welcome.

At times in our life we struggle and it may feel like there are no solutions or answers. It may be dark and you may feel alone. I am here to show you that you are not alone.

I seek to understand the complex intersections of identity and how they impact mental health and well-being. My goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
