Getting to know Michelle Allee

Hello! I am Michelle Allee, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Sacramento, CA, providing telehealth to individuals across California. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I take a trauma-informed eclectic approach to therapy, centering on the client as the expert on their own life and desire for growth and healing. I believe what happens to us doesn't define us. My approach Together, we will create a partnership, giving you the opportunity to find techniques that fit your concerns and goals, pulling from different approaches. This includes choosing to tell your story (Narrative Therapy) or not; using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify underlying beliefs, thoughts, and emotions that impact behaviors or symptoms, learn to redirect or accept these, and increase stress tolerance. Additionally, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to change how memories are stored in the brain and body, reducing or eliminating troublesome symptoms. My focus I am accepting referrals for adults with symptoms including depression, anxiety, anger, issues with focus, sleep, weight, stress, and life transitions. I have specialized training in Adoption Competency to address the specific needs of adoptive children, biological parents, or adoptive parents. My communication style I take a down-to-earth approach to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or shame. I hold space for you to be your authentic self, and I find humor helps ease the process. My journey to mental healthcare My professional path started in 2002 when I transitioned from teaching to social work after realizing I was more passionate about the underlying concerns of the youth I worked with. This, combined with my personal journey of healing and resilience, led me to provide services to youth and families.
