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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and narrative therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My communication skills, patience and non-judgmental approach allows my clients to feel comfortable in opening up to me.
