Michele Bourbonnais, LPCC
‘Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.’ – Brené Brown. Taking the step to either start or continue therapy takes courage and vulnerability. I recognize this and strive to meet the people I support with compassion and empathy. I work alongside you to help you explore your story, develop insight into the barriers that led to unhealthy coping/cycles with yourself and relationships with others. I do this through various therapeutic modalities (ACT, EFT, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and Attachment Theory) that will help you explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and connect to the choices impacting your behaviors. With this approach I have learned how to support individuals struggling with complex trauma, eating disorders, body image issues, self worth struggles, depression, and anxiety. I look forward to partnering with you to help move you towards healing.
