Nathan Taylor
My name is Michelle Tapia, LMFT/APCC. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Palo Alto University in Palo Alto, CA. I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to embark on their journey toward mental and emotional healing. In a high school setting, I focused on providing support to those with special education needs, particularly through IEPs and 504 plans, while developing a strong skill set in crisis management. Most recently, my experience in a private practice setting has allowed me to further refine my clinical identity. As a lifelong learner, I am committed to continually expanding my knowledge base to better assist my clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect to engage in rapport building, establish a therapeutic relationship, collaborate on developing a treatment plan, and discuss their expectations for therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Some of my greatest strengths include rapport building, meeting clients exactly where they are, and using humor to foster trust and connection.
