Getting to know Michelle Steele

Hi there, I'm Michelle! I help clients navigate life transitions, depression, anxiety, and problematic relationships. My goal while working alongside you is to help you feel more connected, capable, and confident so you can start to really soak in and enjoy life's special moments with those you love. My focus I work with clients across diverse backgrounds who are managing depression, anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, and life transitions. I meet each person where they are at and help them to work towards building a life they love. My approach I am an eclectic clinician and love to pull from various modalities to include: CBT, ACT, DBT, and TF-CBT. We will work to resolve symptoms of prior traumas; understand and shift unhelpful thought patterns; foster healthier relationships with those you love; self-destructive behaviors; and take purposeful action towards the life you want. My communication style My communication style is compassionate and collaborative. I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can share what is on your mind and heart. I want my clients to feel heard, understood, validated, and empowered. My journey to mental healthcare I have experience in various settings to include outpatient mental health, detention, and crisis response. I love what I do and know that people are capable of healing, changing, and thriving when given the support, encouragement, and tools they need. My goals for you We will collaboratively identify clear, achievable goals that will guide you towards the type of life you dream of. A life that aligns with your values, makes you proud, and brings you joy. I use evidence-based strategies and check in regularly on progress. I emphasize skill-building and will have you lean into strengths you already have. Our first session In our first session, we’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, your challenges, and your goals. I hope to learn about you as a whole person.
