Therapist

I’m a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, genuine, and judgment-free. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, motherhood, and other challenges that can leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My approach combines talk therapy with mindfulness, somatic techniques, and creative interventions when helpful. I strive to meet each client where they are while offering both support and gentle challenge to help you better understand yourself, break unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change.

Michael Hellman

Michael Hellman

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I read and subscribe to the idea that instead of a patient needing a clinician to offer treatment, a client seeks the assistance of a counselor as more of a confidential teammate for improving a bio-psycho-social aspect of her/his life.


I have worked in the behavioral health field since 1997 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015, making a mid-life career change to help those struggling with a variety of issues--anxiety, depression, self-esteem, substance and other addictions, recovery, grief and loss, family, relationship, life transitions and adjustment difficulties--anything negatively impacting one's daily functioning, happiness, quality of life.
