Getting to know Michelle Brandser

Hi there, I'm Michelle! Hello, my name is Michelle Brandser, PhD, LPCC, LADAC. I'm a licensed therapist who values getting to know my clients and their unique journey of growth and reaching their goals. My focus of practice includes individuals aged 15 - 100, in the treatment of mental health of anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use issues. My approach I am trained in CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Family Systems, and Trauma Resiliency with cultural awareness. I use tools from each of these approaches in the therapy process to work together in achieving therapy goals. My focus I enjoy working with individuals to address their mental health and substance use issues with a recovery focus of life transitions, relationship issues, grief, trauma, depression and anxiety. My communication style I strive to create an open and interactive communication to engage clients in identifying their therapy goals. I often use a holistic approach to check in with a client's progress and to adjust as needed. I will also use a mindful approach to establish empathy and respect in interacting with one another. My journey to mental healthcare I desired to help individuals to achieve their goal(s) and to understand how the mind and behavior influences a person, especially with mental health and substance use issues. I am also focused on growing professionally and personally so I may help others address their challenges. My goals for you I use a collaborative goal setting model to frame specific goals that a client wants to achieve and identify the process with a plan. I see my therapist role as helping clients work through emotional and behavioral challenges and maintain motivation to grow. For example, by identifying what a client wants to get out of therapy, we can develop a starting point and begin identifying the steps to achieve the goal.
