“I enjoy my sessions with Michelle. I feel like she is going at the pace I need and meets me where I am while still encouraging me to move forward. She keeps it real and I like that too! She is giving me the reinforcement I need to make the best decisions for myself. I am so grateful for the support she gives.”

Getting to know Michelle Caron
Are you feeling stressed out? Do you give to everyone else and then find you have little time or energy left for yourself? I can help. I work with individuals aged 18-75 who are navigating work/life balance, challenging family dynamics-including parenting and caregiving struggles-and general life transitions. With a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, I bring a compassionate and informed approach to our sessions. Together, we will identify your strengths, practice communication skills, and encourage you to meet your goals. We will work collaboratively to help you feel less stressed and more supported until your life feels more balanced.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Appointment options include in-person availability at a Santa Cruz office. In the office, we can relax and talk, use the sand tray, or do art activites. Want something more active? How about a walking or ecotherapy appointment? We can walk along the beach or in the forest and let nature and movement support the therapeutic process. Finally, many of us are short on time so the best option is a telehealth appointment via Zoom. In our appointments, we will talk, brainstorm, problem-solve and get to the heart of what you need.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
