Getting to know Michel Carter

I believe everyone deserves a safe place to be heard, understood, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed School Counselor with trauma-informed training, I provide a warm, compassionate space for healing and growth—for children, teens, adults, couples, and families alike.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with clients navigating a wide range of challenges—anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. With kids and teens, I understand how overwhelming school can feel, and I offer support with academic stress, behavioral challenges, peer relationships, and self-esteem. I also partner with parents to navigate IEPs, 504 plans, and school processes so students can thrive both emotionally and academically. I am especially passionate about supporting women, individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Every story matters, and I strive to create an inclusive space where your whole self is welcomed, respected, and valued. Whether you’re working through pain, navigating change, or seeking more balance, I’ll walk with you—with compassion, authenticity, and encouragement every step of the way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our work together, I’ll meet you where you are and tailor therapy to your unique needs. I draw from approaches like person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, REBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, play therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples counseling. More than anything, my goal is to create a space where you can reflect, exhale, and feel safe to grow.
