Michelle Sherman

Earning your trust and creating a safe therapeutic relationship are very important to me. My work includes helping individuals through loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, divorce and general life stress. Parenting and juggling the demands of children are also a focus area. I am a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Social Work and I have spent my Social Work career working in different clinical and educational settings with children, families, and adults.

Coping with the difficulties and challenges of life is very specific to each of us as individuals. When we feel like life is pushing us beyond our limits, professional help may be what enables us to move forward and manage life's struggles in a health centered way. I work with individuals using a strengths based approach while applying different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and solution focused therapy.

Challenging negative thinking patterns, addressing self regulation, and exploring "the whys" behind habits and beliefs are some of the ways I will use our time together. I am open, thoughtful, positive and continually using strategies, methodology and tools that are targeted for each person. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. You are on your way and worth the effort and time it will take to find a therapist who will be a great fit. I wish you well on this journey.
