Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and research shows that one of the most important predictors of success in therapy is the quality of the relationship between client and therapist. That’s why we place so much value on building a strong, collaborative connection, because when it feels like a good fit, real progress happens. We start with a 30-minute consultation, so that you can get a feel for our approach and decide if we’re the right match.
Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone. Here are just some of the challenges we support:
From panic attacks to OCD, social anxiety, phobias, or that constant “what if?” loop, we’ve got tools that help bring clarity and calm.
If low moods keep cycling back or you feel stuck in a fog, we’ll work together to break the pattern and bring light back in.
Whether it’s simmering frustration or sudden outbursts, we help you understand what’s beneath the anger, and how to respond differently.
Romantic, family, or work relationships feeling complicated or draining? Let’s unpack it all and build healthier connections.
We’ll help shift the inner dialogue from “not enough” to “I’m doing okay”, and understand why self-acceptance has been difficult to achieve.
If you find yourself struggling with how you see your body or occasional binge-eating, we’ll explore it with care and compassion.
Below are some areas that are beyond the scope of what we currently offer:
I’m Dr. Michelle Collins. and I founded this clinic because I believe in therapy that’s both warm and grounded in real science. I’m a Clinical and Health Psychologist, with over 20 years of experience helping adults and teens (ages 16+) navigate a broad range of problems, from every day stress and life transitions, to more complex struggles like OCD, panic, PTSD, and severe depression. My approach is collaborative. You’re the expert on you, I’m here to guide with tools and insight.
Choosing someone to work with can be difficult, especially if it is your first time entering into therapy. We view the first visit as no commitment, but rather a chance for you to see if you are comfortable with us and our approach, and for us to listen to your difficulties and understand your goals for treatment. We begin with a 30-minute Needs Assessment with our Clinic Director, to offer some initial insights, and match you to the best provider for you, based on your preferences, availabilities, and provider areas of expertise. By the end of your first or second visit with your assigned therapist, you can expect them to share a treatment plan with you, and decide if you would like to work together moving forward. If this is of interest to you, the first step is to contact our Clinic and schedule a Needs Assessment.
We’re happy to work alongside other professionals (think: your doctor, a nutritionist, even a personal trainer) to support your whole self.
Every treatment plan is uniquely crafted with your goals, preferences, and lived experience in mind. No cookie-cutter therapy here, just support that fits you.
We use CBT and other proven therapies to guide real, lasting change.
