“Find your bliss” —Michelle Webber, LCSW
Michelle uses psychotherapy and life coaching tools to help clients overcome obstacles and discover their passion. She works with the following:
One on One Therapy
In her individual therapy work, Michelle is highly skilled at making a connection with each client in order to determine the direction they’d like to be headed and the kinds of challenges they’re facing.
Some individuals benefit from in-depth psychotherapy work or are seeking out substance abuse treatment, while others need guidance through life coaching to get their life back on track.
Michelle works with adults, adolescents, and LGBTQ individuals who are struggling with issues around acceptance and identity. She is also experienced at assisting clients who are dealing with chronic illness and pain and the toll this can take on the mind and body.
Couples Counseling
For all couples, obstacles can appear on the road to happiness. When these roadblocks become too much, couples counseling can help people in a relationship regain perspective and open up communication once more.
As a skilled couples counselor, Michelle can guide you and your significant other through identifying the challenges that currently exist in your relationship and work to find constructive solutions to make your relationship stronger as you travel life’s journey together.
Family Therapy
Conflict within a family is disruptive and causes stress to everyone from parents to their children.
Sorting out this type of conflict and finding solutions can be complex due to family relationships and history that aren’t often apparent to those outside of the family itself.
Michelle is experienced at hearing out each family member to understand the dynamics at play for each individual, as well as the group as a whole.
In this way, she helps families work towards solutions that can make them whole once more.
