Michelle Wilson
Counselor
Michelle became interested in psychology while working with a therapist as a teenager and decided she wanted to dedicate her life to helping uplift others through counseling and empowering others to experience more calm and more joy.
One of her favorite things is to help people recognize their inner strengths and gifts and to also share tools and skills that are helpful from the worlds of neuroscience, positive psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, CBT and energy psychology. Every client she has worked with is unique. Michelle has an eclectic approach to serve the individual in a way that feels like a good fit for them.
Michells believes we all deserve a safe, non-judgmental space to share our stories and get support. Life can throw us so many curveballs and challenges and it is absolutely possible to grow through them and come out the other side stronger, wiser, and more equipped and resilient. Whatever you or a loved one is going through, Michelle believes there is hope and no need to suffer alone. It is possible to find more peace, joy, connection and purpose in life!
