What do you need right now to make things okay? Its likely that if you knew that answer, you would not be looking for help! Life feels so frustrating or hopeless sometimes; you want to feel good but just don’t know how. It is hard to know where to start. The truth is, you already have all the answers within yourself but those answers may be hiding, obscured by fears or depression. They might be buried deep within you, just waiting to be recognized and brought forth.

Sometimes the solutions are easier to find with someone who will help you sort through all the noise to find what is true and real. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma or grief, I can help you find the path that works for you --in order-- to move forward with your life. Together, we will sort through the messiness that is life to find those pieces that make sense.

Michelle Johnson-Dupre

Michelle Johnson-Dupre

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I've long been drawn to the dance between the psychological and the spiritual. As I journeyed my own early path of discovery, it lead me to studies in psychology, classic literature, and theology in undergraduate, and then later Buddhist psychotherapy and meditation, and depth psychology in graduate school. I received my graduate degree from Naropa University's Transpersonal Counseling Psychology program in 2003, and am licensed in WI (LPC) and MN (LPCC). I am a practitioner of shamatha-vipassyana meditation, and have a well-established background of working for various therapy group practices in MN and WI.

Education

2003, Naropa University, MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology.

1998, College of St. Benedict, BA in Psychology; 1997 study abroad in Beibei, China.

As a lifelong student of East and West methodologies, I blend Person-Centered, CBT, Gestalt, depth psychology, somatic, and Buddhist psychology views. I also take a trauma-informed, IFS-informed, EFT-informed approach. I spent many years exploring Christian mysticism and theology before finding my own path and practice in Tibetan Buddhism for the past 20+ years, and I welcome heartfelt conversations about any psycho-spiritual path.
