Psychotherapist
AK
Hi there, I'm Michelle! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Alaska who has worked with adult individuals for over 10 years. I use a person-centered approach that focuses on YOUR needs and explores healthy positive changes YOU want to make in your life using mindfulness, CBT, meditation, and other problem-solving approaches and therapeutic techniques. I understand the importance of trust, respect, listening, and clear communication skills because you are a unique person encountering unique experiences. I can teach you ways to manage chronic pain, lower depression and anxiety symptoms, work through traumatic events, explore changes in your life past and present, all in a supportive, caring, safe and confidential environment. You can discover ways to make clear, positive decisions and live the life you deserve to live. With support, knowledge, and self-awareness you can learn how to heal, to apply self-empowerment, and add balance to your life. I look forward to working with you. My approach Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Strength Based, Mindfulness My focus I mostly work with clients that experience depressive and anxiety symptoms. I also work with clients that suffer chronic pain, adjustment disorders, anger management, and low self esteem. My communication style I tend to be direct in communication, while utilizing a caring tone and volume to meet your needs. My journey to mental healthcare I was laid off from and I was offered free classes at the community college. I thought I would take some "fun" classes and those "fun" classes graduated into my master's level of Social Work 5 years later. I love what I do. I love seeing people when they make positive changes in themselves because they want to. I love watching people grow within themselves and having a clearer view of their personal needs and how to meet those needs.
