Michelle MacPherson

For more than 25 years, I’ve helped adults navigate transitional life challenges—whether related to depression, anxiety, relationship stressors, or addictive and self- sabotaging behaviors. I'm solution‐focused, goal‐oriented, compassionate, and client‐centered. I work collaboratively to identify practical steps forward, so we don’t stay stuck in the problem itself. Together, we’ll clarify what’s getting in the way and build tools that help you feel more grounded, capable and aligned with your values.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I will help you create meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in individual therapy for adults and do not currently offer couples counseling.

My clients can feel "stuck" and are wanting to improve their mood, their relationships and feel less overwhelmed. I help clients develop a toolbox of coping skills to use in their daily lives. I'm best suited to working with adults over 30, who are looking for greater insight and understanding of their interpersonal dynamics. I am highly effective in helping adults manage self-sabotaging behaviors and developing more effective coping skills to maximize therapeutic gains.

Our sessions will include a thorough exploration and assessment of your goals, psychoeducation to outline the science behind the therapeutic modalities we will use, collaboration in allowing you to choose an evidence based modality that most suits you, challenging questions to help you gain greater insight and awareness and homework assignments that will help you reach the goals identified during treatment.
