Getting to know Michaela Joy Cook
Hello, I'm Michaela!
Are you looking for a safe place to be yourself and open up about difficult things? I recognize the strength it takes to be vulnerable, and I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. I believe my calming and empathetic nature helps clients feel right at home. Plus, I like to sprinkle in a bit of humor and creativity.
Do you ever feel stuck in life and hope for change? I seek to nurture positive growth and transformation. Ultimately, my primary goal is to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can authentically be themselves and heal.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively on your path to wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I enjoy empowering clients to advocate for themselves so they can feel capable of change and confidence. I often incorporate skills-building into my sessions and provide information on therapy techniques to help those I work with build mastery and strengthen coping abilities.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She is great and always provides me with great solutions to my problems. I also feel free of judgments when I share my feelings and concerns with her. She gives me the space to speak freely about my issues.
