Getting to know Michele L. Cotter
Hello!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) with extensive experience and clinical training. Since completion of my master's degree in counseling psychology, I have 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, college students and adults. I have been working as an outpatient counselor for over 20 years.
I have comprehensive training and experience counseling individuals like you who are struggling with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss. I have advanced training and experience in the area of trauma and stress-related disorders over the last 17 years.
Join me on the journey toward inner peace and happiness! We can work through this difficult time together. I use compassionate, evidenced-based techniques. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My counseling style focuses on creating an environment of acceptance, encouragement and support throughout the therapeutic process. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches determined by your needs. I have a holistic approach toward achieving emotional well-being while eliciting hope and healing.

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.
