Getting to know Michele Lewis

Hi, I'm Michele, and I'm excited that you're taking steps to feel better about yourself and are interested in learning more about me. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and a qualified mental health professional. I am a certified clinical tele-mental health provider, a certified clinical trauma professional, and a certified grief-informed professional. With over 25 years of experience as a therapist, I absolutely love what I do. I specialize in helping young people live authentically despite past trauma, guiding them to express their true inner selves. I also support adult children caring for aging parents, helping them cope with caregiver stress and navigate grief and loss as they witness changes in their parents' mobility and cognition. My experience with Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) allows me to coach adults towards greater job satisfaction, career goals, and managing on-the-job stressors and conflicts. Additionally, my work in geriatrics helps aging adults process their feelings about aging gracefully. My extensive experience with grief and loss enables me to assist people of all ages in working through the profound impacts of sadness, emptiness, and stress from losing a loved one or experiencing significant life changes. My therapy approach is synergistic, warm, and accepting. In my practice, therapy is a place of no judgment, a place of self-discovery. It's a space where you can speak your mind freely and share thoughts and feelings you may have been hesitant to voice before. It's a place to try new things and think about solutions in new ways. During our sessions, you'll explore what's holding you back or causing unhappiness at work or in your relationships. As you become more comfortable, you'll build skills and strategies that allow you the freedom to express who you are to those in your life. You'll discover how to build authentic connections with friends and family and learn strategies to reduce depression and anxiety, becoming confident in who you are and who you want to be. I utilize a variety of techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology theory, stress management with mindfulness, empowerment work, mind/body/spirit connection, mood management, anxiety reduction, and finding your path to work/life balance. Contact me, and let's begin our work together!
