Getting to know Michelle Parker

Hi there, I'm Michelle! Hello! My name is Michelle Parker, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Psychology from Grand Canyon University. My approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are and build from there. I focus on past trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress management. My approach I tailor my methods to meet clients wherever they are on their journeys. I employ an array of treatment modalities that best support their unique needs. By using motivational interviewing, I empower clients who may be wavering between pre-contemplation and contemplation, guiding them toward positive change. My primary modality, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, enables clients to explore the significant impact of their thoughts on their emotions and behaviors, promoting personal development. My focus I enjoy working with clients between the ages of 17 to 60+. I am comfortable working with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and stress management. My communication style The type of environment that I like to create for my clients is warm, safe, and nonjudgmental. I want all of my clients to feel heard and to have their feelings validated. My journey to mental healthcare I was attracted to a career as a therapist because I saw the wonderful work that my sister did in the community. The things that drive me to do this work are that I enjoy helping others and have personal experiences with similar issues. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is inclusive and client-centered. The client is the expert of themselves and is aware of what they would like to personally work toward. My first session with you The first session will consist of me introducing myself and going over initial documentation. I will also check in with you to see what is bringing you to therapy, begin establishing trust, and answer any questions you may have.
