Michelle has a passion for DBT and CBT and wants to learn to work with trauma clients. She has a special interest in working with veterans and their families. While Michelle is earning her licensure hours, she is offering therapy at a reduced fee, which is wonderful for our clients seeking lower-cost DBT. Michelle receives intensive clinical supervision from our senior leadership team, ensuring her clients benefit from the collective expertise of the entire Turn the Mind clinical staff. She works with both adolescents and adults in our DBT program.

Michelle especially provides support for the Transitions of Young Adulthood for those who are figuring out who they are and what they want to do. In addition to individual therapy, Michelle is a leader for our Adolescent DBT Groups.
