Therapists in Ann Arbor, MI

Anxiety can be overwhelming and make it hard to meet your full potential. Sometimes it feels like you can’t figure out what you need to do to regain control and make healthy and positive decisions. I have been there. I believe that therapy is a tool that can help you unpack what’s really going on and create a plan for sustainable change. I want to help you take ownership of your life and find solutions that work for you. I strive to create a safe, open, and judgement-free environment for you to process your anxiety and other mental health needs. I provide tools to help practice better self-care and improve your quality of life.

Are you finding it difficult to engage in activities that once brought joy and meaning to your life due to sadness, feelings of loss, or overwhelming worry? I help people reengage in valued activities and relationships, heal from trauma, and rediscover what is most important in their lives. My approach to therapy is relational and integrative. I employ behavioral health interventions, viewing these elements as tools that are best utilized in a broader person-centered context of physiological health and psychological wholeness.

Generally, each person and I begin by exploring the issues that has brought them to seek out my services. This exploration entails a joint effort that unfolds over time. A relationship is formed that helps us both to see more clearly how the individual is operating in their everyday life. It is through such an exploration that the individual begins to understand themselves, and, especially, their more intimate relating. I also believe that the person leads the treatment such that we will only go as far as each person desires. I can offer ideas, but, in the end, it is the individual who leads us.

As a psychotherapist & social researcher, I have 20+ years experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing a broad range of challenges & issues. We all live together in the same society, but the complex factors that effect each of us individually can create challenges that make it hard to succeed, live up to our potential & lead happy, satisfying lives. There are tools, that we can use to deal with these challenges. Learning how to access our inner strength and power is something each of us are capable of - and this empowerment is the key to resolving confusion, pain & suffering.

Have you ever felt like your own worst enemy, that you are not good enough or unlovable? Does your inner critic or negative thoughts sometimes get the best of you? Are you hard on yourself or a perfectionist? Do you have the worst luck or feel that no one can be trusted, or the world is unsafe? On average, we have 70,000 thoughts/day(healthybrains.org) & although negative thoughts are completely normal, they can become problematic. Many times, our negative thoughts are messages we received from others and at some point, we can begin to internalize these beliefs as who we are. You are NOT your thoughts/beliefs & this is the work!

Michelle Walsh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan who has been practicing since 2018. She graduated from the University of Michigan School of Social Work. Michelle believes in the foundational tenet of Dialectical Behavior Therapy that states we are all doing our best, and we can also be doing better. She allows this to lead her practice as she acknowledges the stigma related to mental health treatment, our inherent discomfort of change, and the impact our environment and genetics have on our thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

I have been a clinical psychologist for over 30 years. My principal orientation to therapy is cognitive behavioral—I believe that we can impact the way we feel about our lives by changing the way we interpret events and relationships. That being said, I bring to therapy a wealth of life experiences, including being a husband, father and an attorney.
