Dr. Michelle Loper

My name is Dr. Michelle Loper, and I am a licensed clinical social worker and a licensed chemical dependency counselor. I am licensed to provide supervision for both. I am also board-certified in clinical social work. I have practiced for over 20 years providing individual, family, and group therapy. My therapeutic approach is predominately cognitive-behavioral and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I have a background in military practice, dealing with trauma from a variety of approaches.

I provide skills to assist individuals in coping with their challenges and hope to cultivate independence and self-fulfillment. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs

My hope is that you will find our sessions to be both challenging and helpful. My goal is to help you find ways to face challenges on your terms by utilizing the strengths and abilities you already have. Sometimes, it is difficult to remember what you have to offer during adversity. I will remind you.
