About

About me
Hello, I'm Michelle R. Christian, and I'm here to help you on your journey towards mental well-being. With a dual Master's in School Counseling and Mental Health Counseling, and a strong background in Psychology, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals facing challenges with mental health and substance abuse.

My treatment philosophy centers around compassion, empowerment, and collaboration. I believe in a patient-first approach, where each individual's story matters. I take the time to listen, understand their unique challenges, and involve them in their treatment plans. With specialties in mental health and substance use disorders, I focus on developing practical skills for coping and resilience. I use evidence-based methods like EMDR and relapse prevention strategies to support growth. Guiding clients towards independence and brighter futures is my goal. Together, we create a supportive environment where healing and transformation can thrive. Your journey is important, and I'm here to walk alongside you.
