Michele Balthrope, LCSW

Michele Balthrope, LCSW

Psychotherapist
GA
Hi there, I'm Michele! Hello. My name is Dr. Michele Balthrope. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia, with over 30 years of experience in social work, human services, and counseling. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College and hold a PhD in Human Services from Capella University. Additionally, I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-II). My approach My therapeutic approach involves “meeting the person where they are.” I am committed to helping clients understand their life challenges and assisting them in reducing or resolving internal or external struggles. My focus As an eclectic provider, I understand human behavior and the experiences of individuals, groups, and families within their social environments. I believe all clients can heal and thrive, regardless of their past challenges, with the right support and interventions. My services are open to all who seek a healthier future, and I welcome and accept everyone. My communication style I provide comprehensive services throughout the treatment process, customized to address the mind, body, and spirit. My integrated treatment approach considers the client’s biological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. My journey to mental healthcare From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a “helper.” I explored various fields in human services and found my passion in supporting individuals, families, and groups dealing with emotional and mental health challenges. I was especially drawn to behavioral health categories: mental health disorders and challenges related to everyday living. This realization solidified my goal to become a therapist focused on effective treatment approaches, helping clients achieve stability and return to their optimal level of functioning. My goals for you I believe the cornerstone of treatment involves active client participation in developing treatment goals and manageable objectives to meet those goals.
