Welcome to my NowServing-SeriousMD profile! I’m Michelle, a Registered Psychologist (RPsy) with a background in psychology, education, and human-centered care. I specialize in helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, transitions, and personal growth with empathy, evidence-based strategies, and cultural sensitivity. With years of experience in both clinical and academic settings, I’ve worked with diverse clients—from young professionals facing burnout to students struggling with identity, purpose, and relationships. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, academic or career concerns, or just feeling “stuck,” you’re welcome here. Let's work together to unpack what you’re going through and find paths toward clarity, peace, and resilience. 🌱 I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you—it's about walking with you as you find your way forward. Services Offered: 1. Personalized Therapy Sessions: One-on-one consultations addressing a wide range of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and trauma. 2. Mental Health and Fit for Work Assessment: A detailed evaluation to assess an individual’s readiness to perform tasks in a work environment. 3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A scientifically-supported method to help individuals modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. 4. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): A practice designed to reduce stress and enhance overall well-being by focusing on mindfulness techniques. 5. Psychological and Diagnostic Evaluation: A comprehensive assessment to understand mental health functioning, identify psychological conditions, and guide treatment plans. 6. Career Counseling: Offering support for individuals seeking guidance in navigating their professional paths and making informed career decisions. 7.
