Michelle Skagen, LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to social justice, emotional well-being, and helping people connect with their inner strengths, especially during transitions, healing, and change. I’m also a mother to a young adult and teenager, which continuously shapes my understanding of human development and the complexity of family life.
I provide individual therapy for people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, personality disorders, substance use disorders, major life transitions, aging, caregiver stress, parenting challenges, divorce and co-parenting, and relationship problems.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness. I also offer Brainspotting, a trauma-informed modality that integrates EMDR and Somatic Therapy to support healing, interoceptive awareness, and nervous system regulation.
At the heart of my work is the belief that a strong, attuned therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth and healing. My priority is to create a space where clients feel safe, respected, and deeply understood so they may realize their highest potential within the realities of their lives.
