I have been a clinical mental health therapist and behavior analyst for children and adults. I have treated and helped people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, problems with motivation and other life issues unique to each person. I have worked in schools, outpatient practices and homes. My experience has led to form a unique and diverse system for identifying and assessing challenging behavior patterns. I value the human experience and understand that just because a problem is identified, change is not automatic. Understanding the patterns that maintain behavior and thinking patterns can take asking the right questions and exploring unique alternatives to those patterns.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) woman, a proud veteran, and someone who knows what it’s like to carry invisible weight. I became a mental health counselor because I believe in real conversations, trust built over time, and having a space where you don’t have to hide what you’re feeling. People who work with me often say they feel like they can finally exhale. I bring calm, compassion, and honesty into the room. I’m not here to judge or tell you how to live your life. I’m here to walk beside you as you figure things out—whether that’s making sense of the past, dealing with hard relationships, or just trying to feel more like yourself again. I’ve worked with people who didn’t even realize how much they were holding in until they had someone to talk to. I know that reaching out can feel scary or uncomfortable. That’s okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. You don’t need to call what you’re feeling “trauma” or “anxiety” if that doesn’t feel right to you. All you need is the sense that something needs to shift—and the willingness to take that first step. Outside of work, I’m grounded by my own healing practices, community, and culture. I value humor, kindness, and realness. You don’t have to show up as anyone but yourself. If you’re reading this and wondering if things could be different—you’re not alone. And you don’t have to go through it alone.

I have a profound commitment to supporting the inner resilience of all my clients. I’m dedicated to helping every person discover their inner warrior. I often say I took the long road to my social work career, gaining experience in juvenile justice, law enforcement, child welfare, and the school system. This diverse background allows me to effectively support my clients through their toughest challenges.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Maine with over 25 years' experience working with individuals to help them identify issues that are impacting their mental well-being, their daily lives and relationships. I am based in Florida but am licensed to practice in both Florida and Maine and have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, discrimination due to ethnic background, stress and trauma. I also work with college students helping them cope with relationship issues, stressors, life changes and any other issues they may be encountering. I enjoy the dynamic relationship a therapist and client develop working together to find solutions to improving their lives. I believe that as a therapist it is my job to help plant seeds of change and during therapy, we work together to water those seeds to help you grow and the end goal is when your tree is taking root and taking shape.

I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing the challenging effects of grief, trauma, increased stress & anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and Identity issues. Michele Nicole Bradford has been supporting individuals therapeutically for 20 years. She has a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a dual Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy and School Counseling, as well as a certification in Spiritual Counseling & Companioning. Because of her immense experience in working with individuals, children, and families, she has been able to gain and provide numerous tools to help one to be able to live a more healed, free, and authentic life. Michele created the motto “ME In Detail” to help facilitate your own personal soul-care healing and growth movement because “YOU are worth it!” When you take your leap with the “ME In Detail" motto, you are informing yourself and the universe that YOU are ready to own your life in full detail. Michele understands that the journey of healing is a unique experience for each individual that requires time, spaciousness, and gentle support. What makes taking your own leap of faith with Michele different is that she has and continues to do the “in detailed” self-work herself. She realizes that we must continuously care for ourselves at the soul level.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida accepting new clients. I try to match what the client in front of me needs. I use a client-centered approach most often and evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy or motivational interviewing. I'll give an open, nonjudgmental space to help you move through rather than around difficult thoughts, feelings, and situations. I can help with a variety of concerns from adjusting to life changes, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and/or unresolved trauma. For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.

I believe you can change the story of your life by having a "safe space" to share your feelings and process what hurts the most. Transforming the way you think about your problems and allowing yourself to change your perspective, could be liberating in your healing process to a better you. Expect a warm and non-judgmental environment to overcome life challenges.
