Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Michelle Hoy, MA, LPC, CAS. What that really means is that I am a licensed mental health counselor and a certified addictions specialist. I have worked with individuals for many years to partner with them and find a path to healing and feeling better. I know that you want to feel better and I can help you get there and meet your goals. I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorders and Addictions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

When we meet I will get to know you and your goals and then agree on a plan to get you there as soon as possible. I tend to be directive giving specific tools and work for each person to do in session or between sessions so that you get the most out of the work we do together and have the best opportunity to learn and practice these new skills.

What you can expect from our first session

I strive to provide an environment where you can talk about anything that is important to you and you feel understood and valued. I will also help you set goals, such as feeling happy and energetic 5 out of 7 days or reducing your worry from a 10 to a 2 on a 1-10 scale. Setting these measurable goals will help you track how you are doing as well as let me know if we need to add new tools to the work we are doing.
