Michelle Bourgerie
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
When you lose someone, life keeps going and it seems cruel or unreasonable. The texts from friends and loved ones are frequent at first, but then they drop off. It's natural to feel alone even as you paste on a smile and act like everything is fine because you don't want more attention, or frankly, just to keep things "normal." Sometimes you are aware of a silent scream inside of you because it's not okay that your loved one is gone, and you don't know what to do now. Your loss and grief matter and they need to be fully expressed. I am familiar with working with grief and loss, and I am here to guide you through your grief so that you don't get stuck. I know the steps and phases, and I know how to help you express the inexpressible. I've made treating grief the focus of my work, and I'm here for you.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
I work with adults and teens 16+ navigating some of life's most challenging moments — and with women in their 40s and beyond who are reimagining who they are and what they want. Whether you're facing midlife transitions, an empty nest, the weight of caregiving, or simply asking who am I now? — I bring both clinical training and lived experience to that conversation.
My approach is integrative and tailored to you. Drawing on family systems, attachment, psychodynamic, narrative, Gestalt, CBT, and trauma-informed frameworks, I work from the belief that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Together, we'll find the lens and tools that fit your life and your needs.
I bring warmth, directness, and humor to the work — because sometimes the most healing moments happen when you find yourself laughing through the tears. I am not an expert in your life. You are. I'm here to collaborate with you, and to help you untangle what's keeping you stuck so you can feel more hopeful, more grounded, and more alive.
