Micaela Chappelle

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work that is passionate about supporting women and teens who have not felt like themselves or have not found their voice within due to trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and life stressors. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. With nine years experience, my work focuses on helping you manage those concerns, as I have worked with multiple populations including those in child welfare, immigration, children, teens, and adults.

I am the founder/owner of Prestige Mindsets Counseling, PLLC. My approach is warm, nurturing, and empowering. I strive to create an affirming environment where you can show up as your authentic self without judgment. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your strengths, and helping you build confidence as you move toward the life you want. I offer you an opportunity to share your story so we can begin your journey. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) as treatment modalities to assist with getting you closer to your goals.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step and it is completely normal to feel a little nervous. Our first session is to give us a chance to get to know each other. There is no pressure to share everything, as we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I will invite you to talk about what brought you in, what you have been experiencing, and what you hope might feel different in your life. I may ask gentle questions to better understand your story, your strengths, and the support systems around you. This conversation helps me with a full picture of who you are and not just the challenges you’re facing. Our work together is client centered and solution focused so you can feel empowered in taking additional steps towards healing.
