Getting to know Michelene Fiedtkou

Website bio: Michelene is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 9 years of experience providing support to individuals experiencing various personal and systematic challenges from diverse backgrounds. She is passionate about helping adults and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, and who are eager for more self-discovery while wanting to hold space for the many layers of who they are or who they want to be. Her approach is warm, welcoming, and collaborative to create a space where you can be yourself, feel supported through the ebbs and flow of life, and feel empowered to work towards the goals and changes you want to see. She tailors sessions based on your needs and draws from various therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Whether you want to develop healthy coping skills, pinpoint and understand unhelpful patterns and where they may stem from, or want to identify your values and align your life in ways to reflect what is important to you, she is here to support you in finding direction and creating meaning. It can feel both exciting and nerve-wracking to start therapy, and it is a great step in prioritizing yourself. She’d be honored to connect and work with you!

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a warm, welcoming, and collaborative environment where you can be yourself without judgment. I believe therapy should be tailored to your unique needs, goals, and experiences, and I strive to create a space where you feel supported, empowered, and understood. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or seeking greater self-discovery, we'll work together to help you build meaningful change and create a life that aligns with your values.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin by getting to know you, your experiences, and what brings you to therapy so we can identify your goals together. From there, I tailor each session to your individual needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Together, we'll develop healthy coping skills, explore patterns that may be holding you back, deepen your self-understanding, and work toward lasting, meaningful growth.
