Michalah Hodson

Empathy and connection are essential to provide the best care possible, and I am careful to include them in each session. I believe that every client is doing their best at each moment in time and that all of us can push ourselves to do better. In session, I tend to use a variety of treatment modalities including talk therapy, narrative therapy, expressive arts, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and more. My goal is to create an environment of support and encouragement.

I have a certificate in Immigration studies to improve cultural competency in my practice, and I have spent time working with populations who have experienced co-occurring disorders and have higher rates of trauma and mental health issues. I have also done additional training in DBT and trauma-focused therapy.

My clients consistently report increased connection, emotional awareness and acceptance, clarity, and hopefulness for change. I like to work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and identify solutions based on their unique needs.
