Michelle Pierson

As a therapist I provide a safe place for clients to explore and process emotions, strengthen skills for healthy relationships, and work toward optimal functioning in all areas of life. My educational background includes a B.A. from North Central University in Psychology & Languages, and a M.A. from LeTourneau University in Marriage & Family Therapy, and Professional Counseling. My experience as a Counselor includes working with individuals of various ages, both Individual and Couple's Counseling, and providing trauma informed care.

I bring a holistic approach to counseling, working together toward emotional health, offering opportunity for skill development and symptom reduction. Trauma informed services including psychoeducation around PTSD and the processing of trauma is often an integral part of therapy. Specific modalities may include: Psychotherapy, Psychoeducation, Mindfulness, CBT, Strength Based Counseling, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, REBT, & Processing of Trauma.

The first therapy session will include an introduction and review of Professional Disclosure Statement in building the Therapeutic Relationship. Session will entail history taking, assessment, and Treatment Planning toward setting achievable goals of symptom reduction and skill development, in working toward improved relationship with self and others.
