Michelle Carr, LMHC

Michelle Carr, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), finds deep fulfillment in helping people acknowledge and use their natural capacity to heal, survive, overcome, and thrive. She aims to make the therapy hour feel less like a chore and more like a genuine, present experience where clients have space to show up exactly as they are. Michelle believes everyone deserves the time and energy it takes to build a deep and meaningful relationship with themselves, and she considers it a privilege to sit alongside clients as they do that important work.

She strives to create a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where people can talk about anything without fear or pressure. Warm and open-minded, Michelle focuses on earning clients' trust so they feel supported while working through life stressors. Her approach adapts to each person's needs, drawing on psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and person-centered methods to tailor care and promote progress.

When appropriate, Michelle recommends practical coping skills and practice assignments clients can use between sessions. She has supported people through anxiety, depression, mood instability, life transitions, domestic violence, and everyday stressors, helping clients develop more balanced lives by identifying self-care practices that work for them. Throughout her work she maintains a professional and compassionate presence to help clients move toward their goals.
