Hi! I'm Dr. Michelle Blake. Both my master's and my Ph.D. are in social work, and I am licensed in both Tennessee and Indiana. My approach is based in person-centered therapy, although I freely incorporate additional modalities. I enjoy a variety of client groups, including life transitions, LGBTQIA, and adults at midlife and beyond. My basic approach is person-centered. Above all, I want clients to feel comfortable and welcome. Some of the other theories I utilize are cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, problem-solving, and feminist. If the client is interested, I like including writing and other expressive options.
I'm hoping your first session will feel like Tea with Aunt Michelle. I want to set an environment that is warm, welcoming, and respectful and that invites clients to consider their values, hopes, and personal concerns with support.
Your goals should be yours (not mine or anybody else's). The best goals are realistic and achievable, and if they include milestones or markers that help you know you are getting there, so much the better.
