Mid Michigan Therapy

“Chelle” works with kids ages 3+ on behavioral issues, attachment issues, and trauma. She also works with adults, children, and couples as they move through the complex dynamics of relationship distress, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, growth, and healing. “I offer a space where you can explore, root down, and move forward with clarity and intention,” she says. “I’m honored to walk alongside others as they move through their healing journeys.” She believes healing begins when we feel safe enough to show up as we are. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that each person holds the capacity to grow, reconnect, and create meaningful change. | Michelle is available for in-person and virtual services.

The freedom to choose one's attitude is the only bit of autonomy that can never be taken away. It is your power. You can use it to change your story. Shift your focus from past limitations to future possibilities. Imagine a new, empowering role for yourself (the explorer, the warrior, the mentor, the hero) to ignite change in your perspective.

Small “t” traumas are non-life-threatening events that can cause significant emotional harm and interfere with an individual’s ability to cope. They include chronic or repeating events, like emotional abuse, bullying, and financial stress, and one-off psychologically damaging events like divorce or the death of a loved one. They cause long-lasting emotional pain and impact self-esteem, leading to anxiety, depression, or difficulty in relationships. We often dismiss or downplay these experiences because they don’t seem "bad enough," but in reality, they are the root of significant psychological damage and pain for many people. Therapy is a key treatment for overcoming small “t” traumas.
