Hi there, I'm Michelle!
My name is Michelle Simpson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Honolulu, Hawaii. I have nineteen years of experience. I was born and raised in Oahu and earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
My approach
I would like to help individuals to build confidence and empower them to make positive changes. I am dedicated to guiding you through hardships to increase your quality of life. I like to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy among other approaches to help you reach your goals.
My focus
I have experience working with teens and adults who are struggling with relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic medical conditions, and substance use.
My communication style
I like to start sessions by checking in and offering a safe place to discuss concerns and set the tone for the session. I also like to incorporate exercises and strategies to work on goals.
