Getting to know Michelle Coolbaugh

Life doesn't always go the way we planned. Sometimes we're trying to manage anxiety, navigate a difficult relationship, recover from a painful experience, or simply figure out what comes next. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without feeling judged or rushed. As a therapist, I believe meaningful change starts with feeling understood. I work alongside my clients to identify practical solutions, build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, we'll work together to help you move forward one step at a time.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't need to have everything figured out before your first session. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself without fear of judgment. I believe therapy should be a conversation, not an interrogation. I'll meet you where you are while also encouraging you to grow. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life transition, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session is about getting to know you. I'll take time to understand your story, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. From there, we'll create goals that are meaningful to you. Every session is tailored to your individual needs. Some days we'll process difficult emotions, while other days we'll focus on learning practical coping skills, improving communication, building confidence, or working through challenges in your daily life. My goal is to help you leave each session with greater insight, hope, and tools you can apply outside of therapy
