Michelle Walsh, LCSW

Michelle Walsh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Rutgers University in 2008 and completed an advanced standing Master of Social Work at Fordham University in 2009 with a specialization in substance abuse. Over the course of her career she has practiced in private practice settings, outpatient mental health clinics, and a homeless shelter, and she has developed experience supporting veterans and their family members.

Michelle provides both group and individual therapy for people facing a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use struggles, and relationship difficulties. She blends a client-centered stance with mindfulness-informed techniques and has a strong interest in holistic modalities such as meditation. In addition, she is a certified Reiki Master, which informs some of her complementary approaches to healing.

Central to Michelle's work is the therapeutic connection - she prioritizes building rapport and trust so clients feel understood and supported. She aims to help clients identify practical tools and resources they can use outside sessions while offering listening, guidance, and collaborative problem solving. Michelle practices in New Jersey and brings a compassionate, strengths-based perspective to her work with individuals and groups.
