“Michelle is a highly skilled practitioner with a breadth of knowledge and experience that I have found incredibly supportive while coping with major life transitions, old trauma wounds, and OCD. With empathy, insight, humor, and metaphors that shine, she has held space for me where I am at while assisting me in developing the map towards my goals. I am so grateful for the honesty, resources, and tools she has offered me. My life has changed for the better since working with Michelle!”

Getting to know Michelle Ferris
Hello, I'm Michelle Ferris, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a deep passion for helping individuals heal and providing LGBTQ+ affirming care. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington, which laid the foundation for my commitment to empowerment, resilience, and celebrating the unique qualities that make you, you.
In our sessions, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and safe space where you're free to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. I believe in your inherent strength and resilience, and I'll work with you to unlock your potential for growth and healing.
In addition to therapy services, I am a board-certified Texas LCSW Supervisor and can provide parent coaching and training.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $175 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Michelle has been a constant source of guidance and support. Always timely with advice and never telling me what to do but listened and gently nudged me to see things differently. She's challenged me, told me where I have may be at fault, and always respected what I've had to say. I felt seen/heard/understood. As a part of the LGBT community and a person of faith, I have appreciated her background in dealing with both worlds

Michelle is very insightful and always takes the time to listen. As a newer therapist, my confidence is building with clients along with knowledge about various clinical diagnoses. Michelle’s knowledge on mental health and her support have been invaluable throughout my time as her supervisee. An excellent clinical supervisor.

Michelle is absolutely wonderful! Last year was the hardest year of my life and I experienced a very traumatic loss - she helped me every step of the way to get back to a stable mentality and be able to live my life to its fullest. She is an amazing support system, has a gentle and calming presence, and it’s so easy to open up in our sessions and get things off my chest. She has been supremely helpful in just about every way, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone and everyone who’s thinking about starting therapy.

I've had a wonderful experience with Michelle during our sessions. She has an excellent ability to gauge my needs from appointment to appointment. If I need to talk things through, she lets me guide the session. When I’m unsure of what to focus on, she steps in with thoughtful guidance and asks insightful questions. I always feel comfortable with Michelle, and she creates a very non-judgmental, safe space.

Michelle helped me (in just one year!) focus on myself rather than all of the distractions I was focusing on. I went from severe panic attacks to being able to use the tools she gave me to advocate for my own needs, wants, and self-care in a positive and healthy way. My journey has helped all of my family and friends in a variety of ways and I have recommended her to so many I meet. There is still room to grow and so I am keeping Michelle with me for the ride; knowing I have someone who connects, listens, and gives me the resources I need! I can’t thank her enough.

I’ve struggled through the years to find a good therapist until I met Michelle. My experience was amazing and every week I look forward to meeting with her. She provides a safe space to be open and honest and I was able to work through some big things in life. It was so comforting to know I had someone who was there to listen and give advice. As I worked through with her, I was excited to tell her the things I had been working on and proud of where I am today because of her.
