Michelle Lenz, LPC
Therapist
I am passionate about helping people experience healing and move toward a greater sense of wholeness. My approach is holistic and collaborative, focusing on helping you build self-awareness, resilience, and meaningful connection with yourself and others. I integrate evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT along with relational and spiritually informed approaches when appropriate. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship challenges, my goal is to create a supportive space where you can grow in authenticity and move toward a fuller, more balanced life.
