Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Therapist

Virtual • Richmond, VA


Hey! I'm Brendan (he/they), a licensed professional counselor, living and working in Richmond, Virginia. I will be offering in person appointments starting in August. My goal, in every session, is to help you reach a point of empowerment and acceptance with yourself through compassionate and playful work together. You are the expert on you, I will follow and walk along this path with you. I want to help you better understand yourself and how you wish to be. Through understanding there is compassion, through compassion there is liberation. Tsi-Ya (ᏥᏯ) means "otter" in the Cherokee Language. In life we may feel our emotions and stress in such profound ways we struggle to tread water and may find ourselves drowning and overwhelmed. Like otters, we must learn to float.
