Michelle Foraker, LPC
With 20+ years of experience, I offer steady, compassionate support that meets you where you are—without judgment or pressure. Most clients meet weekly, and while messaging is always available here, the biggest shifts tend to happen in live video sessions, so we’ll plan those together. You won’t be navigating this alone; support is built into the process, and we’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your needs. You already bring resilience, insight, and the ability to grow—I’m here to help you strengthen and use those qualities as we move forward, one grounded step at a time.
