Michelle Gary

I work with adults and couples who feel stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, struggle with trust or fear of abandonment, or find themselves repeating the same conflicts. Many of my clients also experience anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma that affects how they see themselves, navigate relationships, and connect with others.

I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for processing traumatic and distressing experiences. My work focuses not only on reducing symptoms, but also on understanding how past experiences, attachment, and relationship patterns may be influencing what is happening in the present.

and as a bonus of telehealth, you may occasionally get a cameo from one of my dogs.

I bring a relaxed, genuine, and very human approach to therapy. I’m not a therapist who sits back with a blank expression, I’m emotionally present, I laugh with my clients, and sometimes I’m moved right alongside them. I believe being real helps create a space where you can be real, too.

In our first session, we'll explore not only the challenges that brought you to therapy, but also the relationships, experiences, and patterns that may be influencing how you're feeling today. I take a collaborative and trauma-informed approach, which means we'll work together to understand your story rather than simply focusing on symptoms. You can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, or feeling stuck, our first session is the beginning of building a path forward that fits your unique situation.
