My mission is this: To give people hope and coping skills in challenging times and times of transition. I am trained in several treatment modalities, but Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Psychodyamic are my specialties. I tailor my therapy to meet the individual needs of each of my clients. I have experience counseling all ages- and I welcome clients from teen years to seniors! I have an extra passion for working with educators because I have walked in the shoes of a teacher, school counselor and school administrator and I understand the current challenges are they facing. I can also help you process grief and/or trauma, and support you in making relationship or career changes or create long term career goals. My mission is to always give you hope, and help you plan and move into a better life path than where you were when I met you on your journey. I am a certified Grief and Trauma therapist. I look forward to working with you and building a trusting relationship that will lead you to having hope, feeling peace and competence. I love to help my clients be their authentic self, discover their strengths and gifts, reach goals, achieve dreams, and be their best self in all relationships.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I quickly establish a trusting, non-judgmental relationship so you feel safe with me. I guide you through the process of grief with compassion and empathy, helping you find your own unique way forward. I provide education, teach coping skills and help you heal. I will help you get over family/ societal expectations so you are able to find inner peace again by using boundaries and not putting everyone else before yourself again. Regarding grief, it can actually be transformative after getting past the pain. You get to the other side of grief having integrated the loss into your changed life. You can experience joy and happiness, while still honoring the past. You have new skills, beliefs, or relationships. It is possible to have a renewed a sense of identity, with increased meaning and purpose.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My empathy and ability to form trusting relationships quickly are my biggest strengths, which help me excel in solution-focused and grief counseling. I enjoy working and have a lot of experience working with LGBTQ adolescents and adults.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love to help men, women and teens who have suffered a major loss, sometimes unexpectedly, that has left them feeling lost, confused, unmotivated, or directionless. With empathy, compassion, and extensive training as a grief therapist and using CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, I help them move through the pain of a major loss into a place of peace and hope for a better future. Everyone's grief is unique, so I personalize therapy based on their strengths and life experiences. After therapy, clients have experienced healing as they have integrated the loss into their lives, moving forward with renewed confidence, purpose, and new coping skills.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is my most commonly used treatment modality, because I believe our thoughts can make or break us! One of the easiest ways to make positive changes and find hope is to examine your thoughts and limiting beliefs and start positive internal conversations.
Grief Therapy
My internship and first experiences as a therapist were using grief therapy. I have also presented my work twice at an international conference held at King's College in Canada. Most adults have unresolved grief they may not even be aware of; such as grieving the loss of a pet when you were told to "suck it up". When feelings in childhood were not expressed, they are repressed, which means they are still with you. In addition to helping you cope with a recent loss of any kind (relative, pet, home, job), I can help you let go of feelings from long ago that you don't need to be carrying as baggage anymore!
Person-centered (Rogerian)
The foundation that sets the condition for people to connect with me rather quickly is the person centered approach, which means I treat each of my clients with unconditional, positive regard. This means I don't pass judgement on you. However, this does not mean that I won't challenge any beliefs you may have formed earlier in your life that might be limiting you today.

I instantly felt comfortable talking with DR. Meyer. After we hung up and I was going over out talk it dawned on me within that hour she knew literally a brief summary of my entire life. It just came naturally to confide in her.

My primary Dr. Suggested I speak with a counselor..and Dr Michele was set up for me. My first session was amazing.. her warmth and her questions all put me at ease.. I felt like I'd made another friend.. I left that session feeling very comforted and light hearted..like a burden was lifted.. looking forward to next session very much.

Was very warm, gentle, good listener, non judgmental, open to letting me run with my thoughts before ruining me in to share or ask questions. Feel lucky to have had Dr. Meyers to talk with
