Dr. Michelle Salopek

Hello!

With a PhD in Education and over 17 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my true passion lies in helping people. I am deeply committed to motivating, inspiring, and leading others towards their personal goals.

I have a deep appreciation for remarkable comebacks, having personally overcome and survived life's challenges. This substantive lived experience, combined with my clinical training and work experience, is what I bring to my clinical practice. I commend you for taking this step!

I am thrilled to work with a diverse range of clients, from amazing adults to terrific teens and superstar seniors. My specialties include anxiety disorders, depression, crisis intervention/risk assessment, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

You are the driver, and I am the passenger here to help you achieve your goals. Life can be full of challenges and unexpected turns!

It is important to me that you feel heard and respected in our therapeutic relationship. My goal is to support and challenge you using a combination of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

I always start with an introductory session, during which you share according to your comfort level—no pressure!

Once you feel comfortable, we will begin working towards your goals.

You'll have the chance to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable—there’s absolutely no pressure. Once you’re ready, we’ll dive into working towards your goals together and learning to take in the joys and challenges along the way!
