Michele Bates, M.Ed, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Pronouns: She/Her/Hers
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I am passionate about creating a safe space to allow vulnerability and openness, which help facilitate growth and change for my clients.
I enjoy working with individuals age 10 and up, and also enjoy working with couples and families. I am experienced with working with a wide range of presenting problems including (but not limited to!) trauma, anxiety, life transitions, substance use, chronic illnesses, grief and loss, couples and family issues. I also am an ally, and proud to cultivate a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.
I use an eclectic approach, incorporating a mix of evidenced based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, narrative and mindfulness therapies to focus on the individuals mind, body and spirit. I have a collaborative approach, and together we will work to create therapeutic goals that are customized to your needs. Some possible goals that I’m happy to support you with are increasing your self-compassion, building resilience and insight, facilitating self awareness, confidence and healing. The options are not limited to just these goals, however!
In addition to my direct work with clients I have been providing clinical supervision for many years, and am passionate about supporting the growth of the therapeutic field in this way.
