Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Memphis, TN
I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress related issues, life transitions, and assisting my clients overcome repressed and/or unresolved trauma. Life happens and it happens quickly. As such, we don’t always have the tools and/or perspective to present as our best selves due to trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and a host of other reasons. I partner with my clients to help them take a hold of the pen of their lives to create and develop their own narrative. You are an expert on yourself, and I am here to help you apply clinical practices to enhance your day to day happiness via your mental health success.

Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and a DBT-informed approach, I help adolescents develop healthier coping skills, increase emotional flexibility, strengthen supportive relationships, and build resilience.
I work with adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions. I believe that having a safe, supportive space to talk openly about life’s challenges is an essential part of healing and growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process where understanding and connection can develop, helping young people build confidence, resilience, hope, and a stronger sense of well-being.

"I'm proud of you." It may have been a while since someone has said that to you. But if you've been carrying a lot on your own, continuing to show up each day takes strength. Many of the people I work with are used to being "the strong one. They often feel misunderstood or emotionally overlooked in their relationships and in the world around them. Some may be navigating anxiety, depression, or life stress, but beneath those struggles is a deeper desire: to feel seen, understood, and accepted for who they truly are.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in science, integrating techniques from cognitive behavioral and other evidence-based therapies.
You may be wondering if you would benefit from outside help navigating life’s challenges. Maybe you struggle to get through the day without getting stuck in a cycle of worry, snapping at your loved ones, or feeling weighed down by a sense of sadness. There may be a clear transition or challenge that you’re facing, like trouble growing your family or a new medical diagnosis. Or, perhaps you’re struggling with something more chronic like navigating the demands of being a working parent. Whatever the source of your stress, your experience is valid, and you deserve and have the capacity to feel better.

I utilize a variety of approaches in treatment with the core being cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy.
Walking into a therapist's office for the first time can be a daunting experience and even scary for some. So can acknowledging a problem or accepting that something in your life isn't quite working. With genuine warmth and concern, coupled with an authentic approach to problem solving, I will help you take those initial steps towards change and growth. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which both parties agree to work hard. Together, we'll identify areas for change and growth, make a realistic plan and trouble-shoot problems as we go along in an effort to achieve emotional stability and wholeness.

I use CBT & science backed therapies that are effective and time limited.
Hi, I’m Michelle. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by PTSD/trauma, stress, or big life changes. You might tell others, "I'm fine", and look like it from the outside. But inside, you feel anxious, nervous, unhappy, worried, struggling with sleep, or just feel like joy is hard to achieve. My style is warm, steady, and down‑to‑earth. And if you like straight forward and sometimes humorous, we might be a good fit!

My psychotherapy approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, solution focused and client centered.
We all embark on the journey of life at the same starting point. We travel down the road before us, trying to carve out a path that will lead us to the kind of life that will bring us joy. However, there are times when that path leads us off the course of happiness and fulfillment, and into the unexpected. I enjoy working with individuals with traits and tendencies of attachment that manifests by way of questioning self-worth, feeling unworthy of love, fear that healthy relationships cannot exist, obsession with loss and difficulty moving forward, taking on others feelings and beliefs as your own, guilt/shame.

I believe people of all ages experience problematic situations or events that create the "Core Beliefs" we hold deep inside. These beliefs can help you feel more confident in the person you want to be while the negative core beliefs can hold you back from growing and living a happy and satisfying life. Clients I see want to know the "why or what happened to me that holds me back from being the real me. I want to give and receive love. I want to be honest with myself and with the people I love. I want to be heard and not judged. I just want to find happiness, acceptance, and pride in myself versus living in shame, anger and fear."
