Michelle Meadows

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Music Therapist, and Registered Yoga Teacher who works primarily with adults experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and nervous-system dysregulation. I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have specialized training in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Brainspotting, the Flash Technique, mindfulness-based stress reduction, trauma-informed yoga, and somatic and relational approaches to complex trauma. I strive to offer a warm, affirming space where clients feel genuinely understood and supported as they reconnect with themselves.

My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that healing involves both the mind and the body. I use EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, mindfulness, parts-informed work, and nervous-system regulation to help clients process experiences that may feel difficult to resolve through talk therapy alone.

We will move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, beginning with stabilization, trust, and practical coping skills before engaging in deeper processing. I balance gentle support with honest reflection and tailor each session to your needs, preferences, values, and readiness. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected to yourself, and able to move forward with greater choice and self-compassion.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another in a supportive, pressure-free space. We will talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope will feel different, and any experiences or patterns that may be affecting you today. I will also ask about your history, strengths, support system, and previous experiences with therapy.

You will not be expected to share anything before you feel ready, and we will not begin intensive trauma processing during the first session. Together, we will identify your initial goals and discuss which approaches—such as EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, mindfulness, or nervous-system regulation—may best support you. You are welcome to ask questions throughout the session so we can determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
