Getting to know Michelle Wendel

Hi there, I'm Michelle! I specialize in supporting adult women navigating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, empty-nesting, divorce recovery, phase of life transitions, relational issues, and retirement. I create a safe space for you to process your experiences and work toward personal growth. My focus I work exclusively with adult women seeking support for anxiety, self-esteem, empty-nesting, divorce recovery, phase of life transitions, relational issues, and retirement. To ensure safety and wellbeing, I do not work with individuals who have a history of suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, self-harm, or hospitalizations. My approach I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Christian Counseling, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered techniques. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, focusing on building a strong therapeutic alliance and empowering you to make positive changes. My communication style My style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I create a safe environment where you feel heard, validated, and understood. I actively listen to your concerns and work collaboratively with you to develop personalized treatment plans that align with your goals and values. My journey to mental healthcare Throughout my education and training, I developed a deep passion for helping women navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. My goals for you I empower you to develop the tools, insights, and self-awareness needed to overcome challenges. Together, we build resilience, enhance self-esteem, and foster a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, creating lasting positive changes that enable you to thrive. Our first session My priority is creating a safe, comfortable environment where you feel free to share your experiences, thoughts, and emotions.
