Michelle Kassahun
You might be here because you’re feeling anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed—and you’re ready for change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping individuals find relief and growth through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.
My approach is warm and holistic. I integrate traditional talk therapy (CBT and Gestalt) with trauma-informed practices like Brainspotting and the Safe and Sound Protocol, which help regulate the nervous system and gently process deeper emotional wounds.
Therapy with me is collaborative—we’ll honor your pace and goals as we work together toward healing and lasting change.
