Dr. Michelle Orgel

I have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and young adults, using evidence-based practices to treat anxiety and depression while helping clients build meaningful social connections and strengthen executive functioning and organizational skills. I also focus on building confidence and self-esteem so that each client can maximize their potential and see their best self. I believe that every client already has the capacity to face life’s challenges. My role is to help them recognize and develop the skills they already possess, while learning new strategies that support growth and resilience.

At the core of my practice is a strong belief in each client’s potential. I work collaboratively with young people to set attainable and meaningful goals—empowering them to recognize their progress and take pride in their growth. Using evidence based practices such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing and Behavioral Activation.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. During our first session, we will take time to discuss what brought you to counseling, what you are hoping to achieve, and what you would like support with at this point in your life. I will learn more about your experiences, strengths, and goals while sharing how my therapeutic approach and areas of expertise may be a good fit for your needs.

I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we will begin identifying goals for therapy and developing an approach that feels supportive and meaningful to you.

My goal is for you to leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the work ahead. I welcome the opportunity to learn more about your story and explore how we can work together to support your growth and well-being.
