IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN YOU.
Michelle mower, lpc, LMFT, cst
You're here because you’re ready to feel joy again.
You're tired of feeling confused and stuck in relationship patterns that aren’t working. Life used to be easier and more fulfilling. It is time for change, to find yourself again. Because you know that it doesn’t need to stay like this, you want the tools to help you navigate relationship communication and thoughts in your head that take away your hope for the future. I help adults just like you: ones that have it within them to find happiness in themselves and in their relationships, but just need the support to get there.
You’re in the right spot.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that you have the ability to create meaningful change in your life, and that through our collaboration, we can explore your strengths and vulnerabilities to facilitate your journey toward self-discovery and empowerment.
HEre’s what I believe about therapy:
This isn't about becoming someone "different."
Therapy is about understanding yourself better and gaining a shift in perspective. Eckhart Tolle wrote, “With awareness there comes choice. And so, you are able to say: ‘I allow this moment to be as it is.’ And then suddenly where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.” In therapy sessions with me I will help you recognize your own patterns of thought and behavior which will lead to increased hope for your future.
The best investment you can make is in yourself.
The power to make a change and heal from past hurts and traumas is in your hands. Through therapy you will experience lifelong returns in confidence, resilience, and fulfillment, ultimately enriching not only your life but also the lives of those around you.
You are inherently deserving of healthy, loving relationships.
Esther Perel stated, “the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life”. Improving the relationships in your life will lead to a more fulfilling life experience. You can make the changes necessary to be more connected and satisfied.
Get the support that’s right for you.

I’m trained in a variety of therapy methods, allowing me to tailor my approach to your unique goals and needs. These include:
Narrative Therapy-Focuses on the stories you tell about your life. We work together to explore these stories, identify strengths, and create new, positive narratives that support your personal growth and well-being.
Existential Therapy- Focuses on helping you find meaning and purpose in life by exploring fundamental human experiences, such as freedom, choice, and responsibility. Therapy encourages you to confront life's uncertainties and challenges while embracing personal freedom and the ability to shape your own life. The goal is to confront life's uncertainties and challenges while embracing personal freedom and to live authentically, aligning your actions with deeply held values.
