Getting to know Michelle Mason

Hi there, I'm Michelle! I am so glad you are here! My greatest goal is to get you to a better place during difficult life challenges through compassionate care. My clinical experience involves working with First Responders, the life challenges they experience in this field of work, and the stressors of EMS on their personal lives. I have worked extensively with grief patients, survivors of traumatic loss, those in physical pain, enduring illness, and medical trauma. I also work with relationship challenges and life stressors causing anxiety and depression symptoms. I work from a foundation of Attachment-Based Therapy for creating a safe, secure therapeutic alliance for healing and feeling better. Let the healing begin. My approach My therapy foundation focus is based on Attachment-Based Therapy. This involves a created therapy environment that emphasizes trust, safety, and empathy through the client and therapist alliance of working together for healing and feeling better. I use therapy approaches such as Psychosomatic and Psychodynamic processing, helping you to increase your awareness of the mind-body connection as we work together to decrease the impact of your unique individual life challenges. I also use the process of EMDR to help unlock traumatic incidents, unhelpful thoughts, and behavioral patterns. After these stuck patterns are unlocked, our work together during this process allows these unlocked stuck patterns to begin to connect with more useful, productive understandings and facilitates new ways of thinking outside of the stuck traumas, thoughts, patterns, and behaviors. My focus Are you experiencing challenging thoughts and emotions that are beginning to interfere with your daily life functioning? Feeling numb, anxious, noticing yourself using unhelpful coping behaviors, increased irritability or anger, feeling stuck, hopeless, and having difficulty focusing? If you identify with any of these symptoms, you may be in the right place. How can I help?
