Getting to know Michel Gotwals

Hello, I'm Michel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. With over twenty years of experience as a public school teacher in Pennsylvania and Ohio, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of populations, including homeless persons, individuals with physical and mental disabilities, and those struggling with addiction issues. This background has given me a unique perspective and deep empathy for the varied experiences of my clients. I specialize in adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, anxiety, children's mental/behavioral health, dementia, depression, developmental disabilities, family relationships, grief and bereavement, life transitions, PTSD, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors, and trauma. My extensive training in trauma and grief therapy allows me to offer specialized support in these areas, and I also provide play therapy and sand tray therapy to help children express their emotions in a safe and constructive manner. In my practice, I offer individual, family, and couples counseling, and I'm committed to creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel heard and understood. Whether you prefer face-to-face sessions or the convenience of remote counseling through SonderMind Video Telehealth, I'm here to support you on your journey to healing and growth. Outside of my professional life, I value the importance of continuous learning and personal growth. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine desire to help others overcome their challenges and achieve their goals. If you're looking for a compassionate and experienced therapist to support you or your loved ones, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards a brighter and more fulfilling future.
