Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Michelle Aldana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Associate Master of Addiction Counselor. I specialize in helping adults and teens navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and focused on creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.

My approach to therapy

I use evidence-based therapies like EMDR, IFS, and CBT, and also incorporate shadow work from Jungian therapy and self-compassion practices.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to walk away from sessions feeling seen, supported, and more connected to themselves. I create a nonjudgmental, welcoming space where you can explore your story at your own pace. Together, we’ll work on building insight, developing healthy coping tools, and healing old wounds so you can move forward with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
