With 20+ years of experience, I can offer you various tools to help you on your journey. I've raised six children and I can offer empathy and understanding of family life very effectively. I strongly believe that assisting someone make choices is the best way to feel better. I have worked with individuals, couples and parents/ families. In a non-judgmental environment, we can explore avenues that you as the client present. I am experienced in EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing) used most effectively with trauma. If you seek a counselor that is direct and real, look no further because I am that person.

Hello! My name is Michaela Seeley and I'm a licensed professional counselor. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction. There is no hierarchy in treatment. You provide the lived experience and I provide the knowledge on how to process what you’re going through to cope with symptoms effectively. Because of this, I take a collaborative approach to treatment. I recognize that change can be terrifying and because of this, I emphasize a united approach. I have always been guided by the phrase "we do the best we can with the tools we have" and encourage my clients to establish that mantra in treatment. I'm here to help you build new tools, rediscover your resilience, and feel more empowered in your healing journey.

I have worked in the mental health and social services field since 2003. Over the past 22 years, I've worked with clients ranging from preschoolers to older adults, helping people across all stages of life find balance, strength, and emotional clarity. Before beginning outpatient practice, I worked in treatment facilities and provided in-home services to children, adolescents, and families. Those early experiences showed me how deeply our relationships, environments, and early experiences shape who we are—and how much healing becomes possible when people feel safe, understood, and supported. In my work today, I provide outpatient telehealth therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in addressing mood challenges, anxiety, trauma recovery, attention and impulse control concerns, attachment needs, and stress-related issues. I draw from evidence-based approaches, integrating trauma-informed and strengths-based care tailored to each person's needs. My clients often describe me as calm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when it feels collaborative—where we combine your insight and lived experience with my clinical tools to build meaningful change together. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, managing ADHD, or wanting to strengthen relationships, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and equipped with practical strategies that fit your life. Above all, I want you to leave therapy feeling more confident, capable, and connected than when you began.

As a therapist, the most important aspect of therapy is working together to create goals for therapy and create a path for meaningful change. Change is an element that is uncomfortable to most people, but by working together, we can establish lasting change through the use of each individuals strengths and by providing support. My approach is practical, I work from a cognitive perspective using cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical therapy, exposure response prevention, and positive psychology.

I grew up in Eastern Europe and moved to the USA as an adult. I speak Russian, Ukranian, and English languages. I had to learn a whole new way of living, face my fears, and overcome many barriers and understand how important communication is in building trust and understanding. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with many different people. I've counseled older adults, LGBTQ+, immigrants and refugees from all over the world. I believe in creating a warm and welcoming space where you can feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings, and I am here to help you feel understood and valued.

Greetings, I’m Gil. I specialize in working with high-distress professionals, veterans living with PTSD, survivors of childhood sexual trauma, and individuals facing sexual addiction. If you are feeling overwhelmed, weighed down by trauma, or struggling to break free from harmful patterns, I offer a safe and supportive space to help you heal. With over 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist, my clients have reported meaningful improvements in managing stress and symptoms, reducing maladaptive behaviors, and experiencing greater resilience, optimism, and overall quality of life. My approach is compassionate, eclectic, and tailored to your unique needs, designed to help you move forward with confidence and strength.
