H, I'm Dr. Michelle Echols and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's and Doctorate in Social Work from the University of Kentucky and more than a decade of experience helping people untangle some of life's most complicated moments — relationship struggles, family tension, substance use, and the rollercoaster that comes with being a teenager.
My sweet spots are teens, couples, and families. I genuinely love this work, and I especially love watching people who felt stuck start to move again.
Would you like to learn how to surf through life's challenges rather than get pummeled by them? I can teach you as a Positive Intelligence coach, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). For over 30 years, in Missouri and Illinois I've helped people of all ages struggling with emotional regulation, the management of symptoms of depression or anxiety, stress, life transitions, anger management, parenting, and burnout to become the best versions of themselves. Together, we would focus on what is helpful and let go of judging what is right or wrong.
As a therapist, I have a deep passion for supporting others through their journey towards general wellbeing. I place strong emphasis on total holistic wellness as well as creating a safe, inclusive and nonjudgemental space as we work together to help you overcome roadblocks and achieve your goals.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience in psychiatric social work as well as hospital based social work. I have experience with intimate partner violence support, refugee and immigrant work, and end-of-life care. I am passionate about helping people through periods of life transitions such as becoming a new parent, caregiving for an aging parent, and processing grief and bereavement. I am an open-minded ally with passion for social justice and healing.
