Michaela Ciovacco

You may look like you’re holding everything together, while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unlike yourself. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Art Therapist, I work primarily with women and mothers navigating pregnancy, postpartum, motherhood, and major life transitions—including anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, depression, rage, mood changes, birth trauma, relationship changes, and loss of identity. Together, we’ll slow down, understand what’s beneath the surface, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, spiritually open, and grounded in humanistic and existential therapies. Healing often involves more than talking. Depending on your interests and needs, therapy may incorporate creative expression, exploring dreams & imagery, mindfulness, breathwork, and gentle movement inspired by yoga & somatic practices.

I specialize in women’s and maternal mental health, with a warm, integrative approach. I blend talk therapy, ACT, parts work, psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, somatic practices, and art therapy to help you understand your emotions, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself.

You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to ask for support. Maybe you’re exhausted from carrying so much, wondering why you don’t feel like yourself, or struggling with thoughts and emotions you’re afraid to say out loud. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way back to yourself.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for all aspects of your experience. Together we will discover your deeper sense of meaning, connection, and authenticity so you feel more free and safe. It would be a privilege to be part of your healing process.
