The best laid plans of mice and men may not always cover every eventuality. Life often changes the drop of a dime, and when that happens, you will need someone who can empathize and work with you as the unique individual you are. While changes are inevitable, they may not always be negative. I will work with you on finding you a new path forward in this new stage of your life.

Dr. Michelle Lipchock

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I believe that meaningful therapy begins with a genuine human connection. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique experiences and goals. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change.

I earned my masters degree from Temple University and my doctorate degree from Rutgers University and have experience working with diverse populations across a variety of clinical settings. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing a wide range of mental health concerns and have developed specialized experience in working with trauma and its lasting effects. I understand how traumatic experiences can impact emotional well-being, relationships, self-esteem, and daily functioning, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can occur.

My treatment areas include trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as CBT, TF-CBT, Motivational interviewing and Attachment Based treatment to help clients process difficult experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward their goals.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and families and am committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, understood, and supported as they navigate their healing journey and create meaningful, lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Welcome, and come as you are. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself on a deeper level. Many of the struggles we experience in adulthood, whether in relationships, self-worth, anxiety, trauma, communication, or life satisfaction, are shaped by patterns that developed long before we were aware of them. Often these patterns started as adaptations, ways of coping or relating that once helped us navigate our family or environment and made sense at the time. My role is to help you identify those patterns, understand why they exist, and create lasting change rather than simply managing symptoms.
