Getting to know Michelle Beames
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Utah with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I have provided therapy services for 5 years, working with children, adolescents, and adults. I am trained and certified in trauma treatment, with expertise in anxiety, depression, foster care/adoption, domestic violence, and sexual abuse. If you’re struggling to move forward, I can help guide you through healing. I offer both Christian-based and secular therapy.
My approach
I am an eclectic therapist who draws from various modalities tailored to each client’s needs. I lean on cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment, and positive psychology approaches. I begin by building a healthy therapeutic relationship, key to effective treatment. My goal is to support you in reaching your mental health goals.
My focus
I enjoy working with clients of all ages, especially those recovering from trauma or dealing with anxiety, depression, or faith struggles and transitions.
My communication style
I engage clients through active listening and open-ended questions, encouraging reflection.
My journey to therapy
I was drawn to therapy after receiving my own therapy following interpersonal trauma. I am certified as a clinical trauma treatment provider and trained in working with foster youth and families. I have training in cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion-focused therapy, self-harm treatment, and crisis management.
My goals for you
Increased insight, achieving goals, reducing symptoms, and developing a healthy therapeutic relationship are signs of success and progress in therapy.
