Depression Therapists in Waco, TX

Hi, my name is Michelle and I know what it is like to have some bad experiences in life and how hard it is to reach out for support. I spent a lot of time not even knowing where to start or how to even put struggles into words. Once I found how therapy can work, I found my calling. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, respect, and honesty; and I strive to make this process as easy as possible. I offer virtual sessions to accommodate busy life styles. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to invest in themselves and find the support they need. So call, text, email, I am here to work with you!

My client is someone seeking help for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to changes in his/her life. (S)He may have been triggered and is now experiencing nightmares, or feeling overwhelmed. (S)He has come to realize that perhaps there have been things in the past that (s)he thought were resolved but are once more affecting him/her. My client is having difficulty sleeping, there is decreased appetite, there are times that perhaps (s)he is dealing with anger or irritability. The thoughts keep coming and (s)he cannot control them. It's hard to concentrate and the thoughts are keeping him/her up at night. Life is difficult.

Everyone needs someone in their life to help validate their feelings and experiences. We have a tendency to focus more on our physical body than of our thoughts. Sometimes we may feel depressed or anxious without knowing the reason. Sometimes everything can be perfect in your life yet you still feel this sadness. This is not uncommon and talking to a therapist can help. I use a holistic approach when working with my clients. I provide a safe space with acceptance of who you are. I help my clients create goals for themselves and then we work on accomplishing them together.

Sometimes life robs us of our light. It can happen gradually or suddenly. We might not even know why the light is gone, only that it’s not there anymore. My goal is to enable you to search for and take hold of that light. I work primarily with depression and anxiety as well as spirituality, processing trauma, and family dynamics. I specialize in adolescents and young adults transitioning into new life stages, and adults of all ages who feel stuck in life.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision and finding the right fit is crucial to the therapeutic process. We are licensed and experienced therapists helping individuals and families develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and other life issues. Our goal is to explore ways to improve the quality of your life, while helping you adjust through various life transitions.

I serve a variety of ages covering a diverse range of mental health and emotional concerns. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents between the ages of 10-17, including those in the foster care/adoption and juvenile justice systems. These concerns range anywhere from adjustment difficulties to the effects of abuse and neglect, including, but not limited to parental conflict, anger management, depression, bullying, homelessness, drug abuse, grief and loss, and anxiety. My work with adults (18+) is very similar, but also includes marriage struggles, life transitions, and faith, to name just a few.

Embracing a client-centered approach, I foster an atmosphere of trust and openness, valuing honesty and insight as crucial elements of the therapeutic journey. I prioritize creating a safe space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, paving the way for healing and personal growth.
