Getting to know Michelle Gorden
UpLift Behavioral Health providers do not issue prescriptions for substances controlled by any federal or state agency or other drugs that may be harmful because of their potential for abuse. UpLift Behavioral Health reserves the right to limit the types of medications that may be prescribed by its doctors and nurse practitioners. All prescriptions furnished by UpLift Behavioral Health care providers are issued in accordance with applicable federal and state law as well as UpLift Behavioral Health policy.
I provide counseling from a strength-based and values-based approach. I have trained and work primarily from a self-compassion and mindfulness-based perspective using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have been trained in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, trauma-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, addiction counseling, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and creative therapies. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and a Master’s in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am Michelle Gorden, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia, as well as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). With an extensive 20-year background in the field, I possess a wealth of experience and expertise. My primary focus lies in the treatment of mood disorders, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), areas in which I specialize. My belief is that each client, couple, or family deserves a personalized and tailored treatment approach. To ensure the best outcomes, I have received training in several evidence-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
What is your typical process for working with clients?
With a laid-back demeanor, I strive to establish a safe and comfortable atmosphere for my clients. I embrace an eclectic approach to therapy, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is inadequate in meeting the unique needs of each individual.
