Getting to know Michelle Gressem
Hi! I'm Michelle. If you are tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or even confused about what to do next, I am here to help. I provide short-term therapy designed to “lift the weight off your shoulder” within the first session. Many people only choose therapy when they are in crisis and need immediate relief. Together, we will identify the source of distress and ways to reduce or eliminate it. This can be done in many ways, but the purpose is to find the way that helps YOU! By using your strengths and resources, we will develop an action plan to enable you to use effective coping skills to gain and maintain emotional and mental balance long after you complete treatment. It's important to know therapy isn't just about helping you feel better; it's about helping you live better. For the last twenty years, I have devoted myself to enhancing the well-being of others. My flexibility has allowed me to engage in a range of positions, both volunteer and work-related, thus heightening my overall experience. I have been committed to empowering individuals with the tools to use their inner strength to overcome those stumbling blocks within. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, which has provided me with a strong foundation to support and guide my clients effectively.

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.
