Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

Kaimana Psychology Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP, Registered Psychologist
I believe that healing is possible for everyone, and it is an honor to be part of your journey towards personal growth and well-being. My name is Michelle, and I am a dedicated therapist specializing in ADHD, trauma, PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.
I understand firsthand the impact that these conditions can have on your daily life, relationships, and overall sense of self. Through my own experiences and professional training, I have developed a deep empathy and understanding of the challenges you face. My goal is to provide you with a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, heal from past traumas, and develop effective strategies for managing your symptoms.
In our sessions, I emphasize a personalized approach that respects your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Together, we will delve into the underlying factors contributing to your difficulties, working collaboratively to develop strategies that address both immediate concerns and long-term well-being. I am committed to utilizing evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques.
My ultimate objective is to empower you to reclaim control over your life and embrace a sense of hope, resilience, and fulfillment. I believe in your innate capacity to heal, and I will provide unwavering support as we navigate the ups and downs of your therapeutic journey.
I also recognize that life can be hectic and finding time for therapy can be challenging. That's why I offer both in person as well as flexible online sessions, allowing you to prioritize your mental health without sacrificing your other responsibilities. You can receive the care you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home, eliminating barriers and making therapy accessible and convenient for you.
I invite you to take the courageous step towards a brighter future by reaching out for a confidential consultation. Together, we will embark on a transformative path towards personal growth, emotional well-being, and a life that is not defined by your struggles.
Remember, you are not alone. I am here to walk alongside you, providing guidance, understanding, and unwavering support. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
Warm regards,
Michelle Bourque

Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Sometimes the ways we learned to cope helped us through difficult moments, but later can leave us feeling stuck. If you’re carrying painful experiences, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or finding that addiction has become difficult to manage, therapy can be a place to make sense of what’s happening without judgment.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We can explore how past experiences may connect with present challenges while building skills that support you in everyday life. You don’t need to know exactly where to start—we can begin with what feels most important to you.

The Art Of Healing
Marriage and Family Therapist, RTC, CT
What makes my therapy practice unique is the way I blend clinical skill with real-life understanding. I don’t just offer techniques—I create a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. My approach is mindful, trauma-informed, and grounded in emotional awareness and nervous system regulation, helping you not only process what you’ve been through, but also build the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. As someone who deeply values growth, resilience, and self-connection, I walk alongside my clients in a way that feels supportive, empowering, and real.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something to shift—even if you can’t fully explain what that is—this is your sign to reach out. You don’t have to wait until things get worse to invest in yourself. Therapy can be the space where you slow down, reconnect, and start creating a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and intentional.
