I obtained my MA in Counseling with a holistic concentration at Lesley University in 1997, and have a background in science and public health. I am trained in CBT, DBT skills, pain management, and my work is trauma-sensitive. It is my priority to provide a safe space to allow clients to explore their feelings and participate in the creative process of self discovery, healing and change. My work is client-centered, strength-based, and I strive to be fully accepting and inclusive. We can all grow and heal from old patterns, painful experiences, and trauma. I believe that counseling can help us uncover our authentic selves and our strengths so we can meet life’s challenges with self-compassion and confidence. ![]() Michelle Stakutis, LMHC, Clinical Director She is committed to supporting her clients by providing the tools that will help them better understand their experience and to find solutions for their challenges.
