Michelle Stevens, LISW-CP

Michelle

Struggling with “living life on life’s terms”? With all the stressors that arise while we are attempting to ‘adult’, sometimes we need a listening ear, fresh ideas, or a push in a new direction. If it’s true that it takes a village to raise a child, then shouldn’t we build a stronger village? If everyday life has you stressed, overwhelmed, confused and hopeless, and in need of a new direction or fresh start, perhaps embarking on a journey of skill building, goal setting and new direction will give you purpose and the energy to improve your current situation.

Michelle Stevens, LISW-CP utilizes a common sense approach to improving one’s circumstances by assisting those who seek counseling support in identifying their desired outcome and facilitating skill building to achieve these goals. She utilizes Cognitive Behavior Therapy and RT, preferring to assist consumers in focusing on current stressors to minimize chaos and build strength. Whether in the individual, family or small group setting, the focus remains on reducing chaos through emotional regulation and life skills. She specializes in addiction recovery, codependency, and family dynamics. Over her 20+ year career as a clinical social worker, Michelle has also worked with older adolescents and their families, young adults suffering from ‘failure to launch’ issues, women’s recovery, marriage “negotiation”, as well as mental illness management.

Providing flexible hours of availability, Michelle is now accepting new clients. She would love the opportunity to assist you in growing towards your best you!

“We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” -Carlos Castenada
