About Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Specializing in psychodynamic, systems, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to improve the ease with which we navigate relationships, work, school, and family.
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 through adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with stress and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, poor childhood dynamics, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with over 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I've been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I've also found that my professional practice has evolved as I've matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.
Trauma-Informed Care
I understand that many of my clients have experienced trauma, which can impact their mental health and well-being. Treatment and interventions are provided from a trauma-informed perspective so that those I work with feel safe, supported, and understood in their therapy.
