I'm Michelle Gorden, a counselor with dual credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). With 20 years in the field, my expertise spans a range of areas, particularly mood disorders, trauma, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I especially enjoy working with people dealing with life transitions, career-related stress, and goal setting.
Believing in the uniqueness of every client, couple, or family, I advocate for customized treatment. My skill set includes proficiency in various evidence-based techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
In sessions, I maintain a relaxed presence, aiming to create a safe and welcoming environment. My therapeutic style is diverse, acknowledging that effective treatment requires adapting to each individual's distinct needs.
