Greetings, I'm Michelle Friedland, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering therapy services in Florida, Nevada, and internationally. I focus on assisting individuals in improving relationships, refining communication skills, and fostering self-empowerment through a deeper understanding of themselves. My counseling approach emphasizes warmth, engagement, and collaboration, with a focus on authenticity, humor, and unvarnished truthfulness to facilitate positive transformation. I place a high value on recognizing and nurturing my clients' strengths, encouraging personal growth, and providing diverse perspectives on their life experiences.

My Approach to Therapy is adaptable and comprehensive to meet the needs of the client. As a therapist, I employ a range of methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative therapy techniques. I aim to gain a holistic understanding of my clients, taking into account their unique experiences and perspectives. By using their metaphors, this encourages client’s to craft new narratives about their lives that promote growth and healing.

With a Master's degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University, I have acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to help individuals navigate their emotional journeys. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Florida (SW 20779) and Nevada (11280-C), I have devoted nearly a decade to providing compassionate care to those in need of comfort, recovery, and transformation. My areas of expertise include trauma, substance abuse, case management, grief and loss, educational counseling, and private practice, through which I have positively impacted numerous lives. If you seek solace and the path towards self-discovery and well-being, let us embark on this journey together.
