Michelle Pyrka

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 7 years of experience helping individuals with a wide range of emotional issues, relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety. I work to create a warm, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe enough to look at and understand the actions and thoughts that are interfering with your own happiness. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is authentic and relatable, because therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable and understood. Sessions with me provide the comfort of conversation with an old friend & the results of working with a trained professional.

I like to use a tailored blend of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), parts work, and somatic awareness. I help clients process trauma, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnect with their inner wisdom. I am very passionate about teaching my clients techniques for resolving nervous system dysregulation and releasing trauma from the body/brain.

Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll work together to help you build confidence, set boundaries, and move forward in a way that feels authentic to you. If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start healing, I invite you to reach out for a free 15 min consultation. Let’s explore how we can work together to help you reclaim your life.

I am honored to work alongside people on their journey towards healing. Regardless of where you are at, one of my strengths is in meeting you right there, which can include: coping strategies for anxiety, depression or painful emotions; developing greater self-compassion, moving through the world with confidence; feeling "I am good enough just as I am".
