Great to meet you!

Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I'm a LMHC who has been working as a substance use behavioral health counselor for almost 7 years. I previously worked at NEDA and completed internships focusing on EDs and SUD while in Graduate School at LIU.

My approach to therapy

Through motivational interviewing and skill building, I want to form a partnership with clients to ensure they are progressing towards their goals.

What you can expect from me

Collaboration is key! It is my hope that after our first session, you are comfortable enough to share what you expect to achieve in therapy so we can work together to meet your goals.
