Virtual & outdoor sessions · Georgia & Tennessee
With Michelle Walraven, LCSW, RPT. Deep roots. Steady growth. Room to heal.
Free consult: a no-pressure phone or video call to see if we're a good fit.
If you're wondering whether therapy can really help, I've been there. My first time in therapy was as a teenager, and it stuck with me. For the first time, I felt truly seen and heard, and that experience is a big part of why I became a social worker.
For about twenty years I've worked across child welfare, medical settings, and mental health, including time at a child advocacy center, with people of every age.
In our sessions you'll find a judgment-free space where you can feel safe, accepted, and comfortable being yourself. From there, we'll work on helping you reconnect with your inner strength and sense of self.
