Hello there, I’m Michelle Rudolph, a licensed professional with over 15 years of experience in counseling. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Austin Peay State University and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges such as life transitions, relationship issues, trauma, family conflicts, social anxiety, panic attacks, and more. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming environment where you feel fully supported. Using a person-centered approach, I tailor our work to your unique experiences and goals, allowing you to guide the process as we explore and address your challenges together.
In our sessions, you can expect to take away a greater understanding of yourself, including your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll acquire practical tools to effectively manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges you’re facing. Our work together will also enhance your communication skills, leading to more fulfilling relationships. You’ll benefit from a supportive and non-judgmental environment where your experiences are validated, and you’ll receive personalized strategies tailored to your needs. Overall, you’ll gain valuable insights and practical solutions that empower you to make meaningful changes and navigate life’s difficulties with greater confidence and resilience.
My greatest strengths as a provider include deep empathy and understanding, which create a safe and supportive space for clients. With over 15 years of experience, I offer valuable insights and practical tools tailored to each client’s unique needs. My person-centered approach ensures that support is personalized, and my commitment to fostering personal growth helps clients make meaningful changes in their lives.
In my practice, I use an integrative approach, blending various therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and other modalities like mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. This allows us to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, combining the most effective strategies to support your growth and address your specific challenges.
In my practice, I utilize eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) when it is appropriate for addressing trauma and distressing memories. With my training in EMDR, I guide clients through processing these memories in a way that helps reduce their emotional charge and integrate them more effectively. This approach can be particularly beneficial for clients dealing with trauma, allowing them to work through past experiences and alleviate related symptoms as part of their overall healing journey.
In my practice, I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) extensively to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. With over 15 years of experience, I apply CBT techniques to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. This involves working with clients to recognize negative thinking, develop healthier perspectives, and implement practical strategies for managing their challenges. By focusing on actionable changes, CBT helps clients improve their emotional well-being and achieve their personal goals effectively.
In my practice, I use a person-centered approach to ensure that therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and needs. This method focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel valued and understood. By actively listening and empathizing with your perspective, I help you explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. This approach empowers you to guide the therapy process, fostering self-discovery and growth while we work collaboratively toward your goals.
