Getting to know Michelle Lebeau

Hi, I'm Michelle LeBeau, LCSW. I value a safe and supportive client-centered approach to therapy and am passionate about providing therapeutic services to culturally and socioeconomically diverse clients. While I have a strong connection to working with adolescents and young adults, I also appreciate helping people of all ages navigate life transitions or stressors that contribute to changes they want to make. I hold both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills, which have equipped me with a solid foundation for my clinical work. My approach includes Attachment-Focused EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I am client-centered and passionate about addressing the needs and goals expressed by clients. When appropriate, I incorporate solution-focused techniques, always leading with compassion and honesty. I work with clients aged 12 and up. I understand the unique challenges teens and young adults face today and enjoy helping people of all ages connect with their authentic and confident identities. I support individuals with histories of complex trauma or traumatic incidents and assist clients with life transitions, stress management, relational concerns, and understanding and regulating emotions. My communication style centers on creating a safe, comfortable environment where clients feel free to be honest and open about their lives and experiences. I share about myself in ways that seem appropriate and helpful, aiming for all my clients to feel respected, heard, affirmed, understood, and supported. My journey to mental healthcare has been driven by a deep desire to help others. After exploring various career paths focused on helping people, therapy became the right fit for me. I also bring personal experience as a client, which deepens my appreciation for the therapeutic process.
