Michelle Waters

Hello.  I'm Michelle Waters, and I help people with the super-sticky issues in life that just don't seem to budge.  Perhaps you've had long-term anxiety or depression or both.  You've tried everything you can think of.  Maybe you have chronic pain, PTSD, ADHD, or an eating disorder.  You might be in a relationship that you want to leave, or maybe you're single and want to finally have a relationship.  You have just a little bit of hope left that it could be possible for life to move forward.  You really don't want to be stuck like this any longer.

My clients have often been to therapy before, but have found that it wasn't helpful enough.  Many of my clients know that they had trauma in their childhoods, but it's also common for some of my clients to be super confused about why they are so stuck in life when they can't think of anything particularly bad about their early years.  They come to my office having worked very hard to stay positive, be nice, bury their emotions, and do all the right things.  All of their efforts have almost worked, but not quite, and they are awfully tried of trying so hard.

I am certified in a therapy tool called Lifespan Integration, which uses a simple timeline of your life to help your whole self to understand that you are in the present now.  This helps you to stop reacting to the past so that you have energy to move forward.  Lifespan Integration is a gentle tool that doesn't require us to dwell on difficult past events.  The focus is on all of the brilliant ways that you managed to get through life to today.

I have years of training and experience working with all types of trauma and dissociative responses, including Dissociative Identity Disorder.  I also have eating disorder training from IAEDP (International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals).

Life can be a whole lot easier!  It can be more enjoyable.  You deserve to meet the real you.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to get started.  I look forward to meeting you soon!
