Michelle Perry, LMHC, LIMHP

Michelle Perry is a licensed mental health professional who focuses on grief, loss, aging, depression, anxiety, codependency, and related life transitions. She brings training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - an evidence-based approach for processing trauma - and draws on a background in social work with experience in skilled nursing settings and hospice care to inform a compassionate, grounded practice.

She holds professional licensure as an LMHC and as a LIMHP - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and pairs that clinical training with a collaborative counseling style. Michelle works alongside clients to set clear goals, then uses tailored techniques to support progress while honoring each person’s pace and preferences.

Warm and approachable, she often integrates humor with steady empathy. Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior approaches, narrative work, and acceptance-based methods, all framed by an attachment-informed, trauma-aware perspective. This flexibility allows her to adapt methods to individual needs, whether addressing relationship and family concerns, addiction and recovery, caregiver stress, or issues tied to aging and end-of-life transitions.

Michelle aims to meet clients where they are and to provide goal-oriented, compassionate support that helps them build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and find greater emotional balance.
