Nice to meet you

My counseling approach is integrative: I use Client-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Stages of Change as therapeutic interventions. These approaches will help clients to navigate through their challenges.

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida A & M University and my Master's Degree in Counseling from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA.

My methods

EXPERIENCE

Behavior therapy

In behavior therapy, the main focus is on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors.

Psychoanalysis

In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.

Cognitive therapy

In cognitive therapy, the focus is on what people think rather than what they do.

Humanistic therapy

In humanistic therapy, the main focus is on a person's capacity to make rational choices and develop.

"My conversations with Michella definitely help me from week to week. She make sure she follows up on things discussed in the past as well as pivoting where need be in conversation. She is appreciated and I feel that I truly have someone who can help me work through situations when life is going less than optimally."

"Michella is the best therapist for me at this time in my life. She is so aware and informed about what's going on with me. She has given me so many coping skills to use when the triggers show up. I daily use the skills to manage my mental health because it's a daily thing. My mind doesn't take a break. Thank you"

Happy clients
