Meet Michelle Smith

(She/Her/Hers)
Life can sometimes seem overwhelming. Are you struggling with life situations, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and/or substance use issues? I believe people are doing the best they can with all that’s occurring in the world today. With counselling we can identify your personal challenges, develop goals, and build skills to achieve your goals on your journey.
I utilize an integrative approach where I listen and understand your situation so we can identify and move towards your goals. Together we learn how you respond to life situations and relationships and develop ways of coping to get you where you want to be in life.
