My focus in therapy is to create a safe non-judgmental space with you that fosters restoration and resilience. View my website at michellefreeman.org

Michelle helps client process feelings so that they are no longer confusing or overwhelming and shift old patterns of thinking/ways of being relationally. Under this framework, she offers practical tools to address a variety of clinical needs such as anxiety/depression, changes and life stress, trauma and abuse recovery, women’s issues, adult parent/child relationships, sexuality and gender identity. Faith-focused counseling also available at client's request. View more: michellefreeman.org
