Individual Counseling
Find support and healing for hurts, changes, or to pursue what’s next. Michelle specializes in Trauma therapy, Anxiety therapy, and EMDR therapy.
Counseling is an intentional, confidential space to work out what’s bothering you, or equip yourself for what’s ahead. We collaborate to formulate a plan to provide the support you deserve and the growth you desire. Michelle provides direct feedback about which treatments are most effective and efficient to meet your needs.
Michelle is a Certified EMDR therapist with expertise to use EMDR to address past hurts, trauma, anxiety, persistent negative beliefs about self, or problematic substance use. Learn more about EMDR below.
In-person in our Lakewood Dallas location or online for folks in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, or Virginia.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives are a powerful way to accelerate your individual therapy. You can reduce your symptoms, recover, and build the tools you need without the commitment to ongoing weekly therapy. You can work with a licensed clinician who is a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant to create an individualized treatment plan for your therapy time. We may work in half or full days of treatment over 1-3 days. Some clients choose for one-time intensives, monthly, quarterly, or as needed intensives.
Online EMDR Intensives open to adults in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia. Anyone can travel to Dallas, TX for in-person EMDR Intensives.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a gold-standard treatment for treating trauma. EMDR is different than traditional talk therapy and can be helpful for folks that feel “stuck” talking about the difficult experiences without experiencing relief. Research shows that EMDR is both helpful and efficient way to reduce distress surrounding past, current, or recent overwhelming experiences. We use EMDR to help treat trauma (car accidents, medical trauma, birth trauma, abuse, sexual assault, troubling childhood experience, etc). EMDR is also helpful to address anxiety, improve performance in future work or personal experiences, and address problematic behaviors (urges to drink, urges for substance use, compulsions).
Flexible Session Lengths: Weekly 50 minute sessions, Weekly or Biweekly 90 minute sessions, or EMDR Intensives (120 minute, Half-Days, or Multiple Full Days) available.
Certification: Michelle is certified by EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. Michelle can provide EMDR consultation to those pursuing their EMDRIA Certification, or those wanting support in their EMDR practice.
