Getting to know Michelle Harthun

Michelle Harthun, LCSW, helps children, adolescents, teens, adults, and older adults throughout Illinois navigate emotional challenges with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care. As a therapist at LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy for people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, while also supporting clients facing a variety of additional mental health concerns. Michelle creates a grounded and supportive therapeutic environment where patients can explore difficult emotions, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with a greater sense of self-understanding and resilience. Michelle is especially passionate about inner child healing, guided meditation and guided imagery, and Internal Family Systems-informed work. She believes many emotional struggles are rooted in experiences that deserve compassion, attention, and deeper exploration rather than judgment. Her approach helps patients better understand the different parts of themselves, process unresolved experiences, and develop healthier patterns in relationships, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. She integrates mindfulness and reflective practices to support healing in a way that feels collaborative, calming, and personalized to each individual’s goals. Since beginning her practice in 2016, Michelle has worked with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors.

Michelle also has experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and military veterans, helping patients feel seen and respected within the therapeutic process.
