Getting to know Michelle Carr
I strive to build a compassionate relationship with my clients by supporting and guiding them toward the changes they seek. Together, we will explore the challenges you face and work toward positive growth. I believe that during therapy, you should be in the driver's seat. While I am an expert in mental health, you are the expert on yourself. Our focus will be entirely on the goals you want to achieve, not what others say your goals should be. I'm comfortable meeting you right where you are. My goal is for you to leave my virtual office feeling seen as the unique individual you are.
I work collaboratively with adults on a variety of issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, coping skills, stress management, mood disorders, trauma, and domestic violence.
I also have a background in domestic violence prevention work. I believe it is essential to understand what is healthy and unhealthy, recognize abusive behavior, identify red flags, and learn to establish healthy boundaries. Knowledge is power when it comes to breaking the cycle of abuse.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Palo Alto University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide effective, empathetic care tailored to each individual's needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work collaboratively with adults surrounding various issues, including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, coping skills, stress management, mood disorders, and trauma. When my clients get better, I see them connecting with the world in whatever way that means for them. Some pick up old hobbies they haven't enjoyed in years, get that job they've always wanted or connect with the friends or partners they have been looking for. I have seen people rediscover themselves after loss or trauma. I have a history of working with different groups of people. So, no one coming to my office has to be afraid that anything about them or their lives will be a barrier to therapy here.

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.
