Getting to know Michelle Hurwitz

I’m Michelle Hurwitz, LCSW, a licensed mental health therapist in New Jersey and co-founder of Protea Counseling. With over 16 years of experience, I help adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on building coping skills, fostering balance, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My personal experience, combined with my clinical expertise and use of evidence-based practices, allows me to be flexible and supportive to each client’s unique needs. I use a whole-person approach that is sensitive to the diverse experiences shaped by culture, race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In therapy, we start by getting to know you and your goals, creating a safe, supportive space to share. Together, we develop a personalized plan using evidence-based practices. I focus on self-advocacy, so you feel empowered and informed, and we work collaboratively to build coping skills, track progress, and create meaningful, lasting change.
