About me
Hello and welcome. My name is Michaelle Desruisseaux and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Florida, Washington DC and Massachusetts. Are you emotionally tired and just feel stuck? Life can get overwhelming so I commend you on taking this courageous step towards feeling better. My goal as your therapist is to join forces with you to develop new strategies and skills to help you cope with life stressors. I have over 15 years experience working with teens, adults and elderly. I am passionate about working with people who struggle with Depression, Anxiety, Anger Management, Low Self Esteem/Self Image, and Grief.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session we will do introductions and dive into the reason why you have decided to pursue counseling at this time. This will give me a better picture on how I can support you and create a customized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My communication skills, patience and non-judgmental approach allows my clients to feel comfortable in opening up to me.

Young adults and adults who are looking to build stronger coping skills to better their quality of life and mental health.

I enjoyed our first session.! She was easy to talk to while guiding my thought process. She encouraged me not to be so hard on myself about some occurrences in my life. I felt comfortable talking to her. I am looking forward to weekly conversations with her. I think I made a good choice with such a solution-oriented therapist.
