Michele Rutsey

I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma, drawing on a compassionate, evidence-based approach.

My areas of focus include self-love and personal growth, social anxiety, forgiveness work, posttraumatic stress, mood disorders, women's issues, workplace concerns, and family dynamics. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients process domestic violence, explore their family of origin, and address multicultural concerns with cultural sensitivity and respect.

I bring a wide range of experience from working in Child Welfare, Residential Programs, Domestic Violence, Juvenile Justice systems, and school systems. My area of concentration is working with teens and adults through life challenges. I meet clients where they are in their healing process and use trauma-informed, strengths-based approaches.

I specialize in supporting teens, young adults, and older adults through significant life changes, meeting you where you are with genuine care and understanding. Whether you're working through grief, relationship challenges, or rebuilding your sense of self, I'm here to help you move toward healing and resilience.

My approach is grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and valued. I believe in your capacity for growth and am honored to walk alongside you on your therapeutic journey.

In our first session, we will work on getting to know each other and exploring goals for therapy.
