Hi there, I'm Michelle!

Hi there! I'm Michelle Pinon and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. My approach to therapy is a journey in which we take together to identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit.

My approach

Life changes can often feel daunting and overwhelming, whether it's starting a new job, relocating to a different city, or experiencing a loss. However, you don't have to face these uncertainties alone. Despite the challenges of dealing with Anxiety and Adjustment Disorder, it's essential to recognize that navigating through them is entirely feasible. With evidenced-based Cognitive Behavior Theory as our guide, we'll identify areas for personal growth and development. By visualizing your mind as a puzzle comprised of thoughts, emotions, and actions, we'll unravel unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to distress and worry. Adding another layer to this approach is mindfulness which fosters well-being and the whole mind and body experience.

My focus

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are worry and uncertainty keeping you from moving forward? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? My areas of treatment encompass anxiety-related disorders, relationship issues, and life adjustment and transition issues.

My communication style

In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, empathy, and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hang-ups and habits holding you back. Let's see what we discover!
