Getting to know Michelle Bronster
Hello!! My name is Michelle Bronster (She/Her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University and over 10 years of experience treating a variety of issues, from daily stress to significant impairment resulting from mental health challenges. I have previously worked with incarcerated individuals, providing individual therapy as well as running Dialectical Behavior Therapy-based treatment groups.
My approach
I have an adaptive approach to therapy. As life goes on and treatment progresses, the client’s needs evolve and may benefit from different approaches. I believe in being non-judgmental, direct, and kind, and I also engage in gentle confrontation as needed.
My focus
Currently, I treat clients experiencing life changes, feeling overwhelmed or stressed, and dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
My communication style
I foster open and honest communication while supporting the client’s experience.
My journey to therapy
I was raised in the field and have always enjoyed helping others.
My goals for you
I like to involve clients in the goal-setting process.
My first session with you
Our initial meeting is a general meet and greet with some information gathering to determine if we are a good fit and how we will move forward in treatment. I am open to answering any questions you may have.
