Michelle Reese, LCSW

Hi, I’m Michelle Reese, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado. My journey began in Virginia, where I grew up and went to school. Eventually, life led me west, where I now embrace Colorado’s sunshine and beauty. My therapy approach is honest, direct, and compassionate, with a sprinkle of dark humor. While I will not sugarcoat my feedback, I will root for you without judgment. I’ll provide feedback, teach you skills and encourage you to face your inner self-critic. With some assistance, you can live a life that has balance, purpose and joy!

We’ll identify unhelpful patterns and explore changes aligned with your values to support emotional and behavioral growth. In our sessions, we’ll look at how your mindset and behavior might be making aspects of your life more difficult than they need to be. We’ll reframe negative self-talk, catastrophic thinking, and work on diffusing those thoughts with proven cognitive strategies. You’ll also gain healthy coping skills to enhance your emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. Together, we’ll identify and tackle the barriers in your life, empowering you to create a life you truly love.

Depression, Anxiety, Self-esteem, Relationship Issues, Family issues, Substance use/abuse, Work stress/Work-life balance, Existential Issues
