Michelle Smith, MA, LPC - Bellevue Office

Philosophy of Counseling: 

After years of helping patients with their physical wellness, I had a growing desire to help people with their mental and emotional wellness. Together in the client/counselor therapeutic relationship, we work toward the client’s goals to improve their well-being and joy in life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have  the pleasure of assisting clients of many ages on their journey of improving their mental and emotional wellness. Working from a Christian perspective, I believe every individual is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity. I am looking forward to helping you achieve your goals.

Counseling Areas of Focus 

I have utilized cognitive behavior therapy and attachment theory to assist clients on their journey of healing. My journey in becoming a counselor has involved helping individuals with anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, abuse, trauma, depression, relational issues, mother/daughter relational issues, anger issues, ADHD, and career counseling. I am trained in EMDR as well as trauma certified. Additionally, I focus on T.E.A.M. therapy developed by Dr. David Burns, somatic therapy, and am beginning to work with internal family systems.
