Getting to know Michele Gunter

Hello, I'm Michele, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia with over 26 years of experience in the field. My journey in mental health has taught me the profound impact of empathy, a non-judgmental stance, and a strengths-based perspective. I truly believe these elements are key in empowering clients to develop healthy thinking patterns and effective coping skills to navigate life's challenges. In my practice, I adopt an eclectic approach to treatment, tailoring my methods to best suit each individual. However, I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the cornerstone of effective therapy. Together, we will identify your needs and goals, and then create a treatment plan that supports those objectives. Your journey is unique, and I'm here to guide you through it. I specialize in a wide range of issues, including addiction, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, antisocial behavior, anxiety, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, dissociative disorders, family relationships, grief and bereavement, intimate and romantic relationships, learning disorders, life transitions, medical issues and physical health, military and veteran support, OCD, perinatal support (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum), phobias, PTSD, sleep disorders, somatic symptom disorder, spirituality, stress, suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors, and trauma. Throughout our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment where your voice is heard and valued. We'll work together to uncover the strengths you already possess and build upon them, fostering resilience and growth. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or navigating a difficult life transition, I'm here to help you take those first steps toward a better life. This is your journey of healing, and I'm honored to be a part of it. Let's work together to create the change you seek.

Having issues with my referral so I’m stuck at the first session being where my therapist is asking what the issues are and can’t go any further due to insurance difficulties.
