Michelle's approach to counselling:

I am Registered Clinical Counsellor located in Comox, British Columbia. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My background is in working with clients struggling with addiction, interpersonal relationships, disordered eating, anxiety, and depression. I take a strengths-based, client-centered approach and believe that clients and counsellors should work together to solve problems and achieve personal goals. I am passionate about helping my clients set and maintain boundaries, learn to identify, and express their emotions, and make decisions for themselves based on their personal values. I work through a trauma-informed lens and pull from a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR).
