Michele Flatau is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and Therapist who provides a safe space for adults and elders to navigate the complexities of stress, life transitions, and trauma. With expertise in various modalities, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches, Michele understands that the experiences of life can be both delightful and painful, often leaving stress and trauma lodged in the mind and body. Her therapeutic style encourages clients to slow down and engage their bodies in the healing process, fostering a deep connection between emotions and physical sensations. This integrative approach allows for a calming unwinding of the mind and body, promoting insight into self, relationships, and life experiences. Michele’s therapeutic work embraces the incorporation of body, mind, and spirit, nurturing the whole person. Through engaging conversations and interactive activities, clients are empowered to explore and cultivate new skills and understandings as they work through present challenges or past traumas. Michele's knowledge of neurobiology, along with practices like Interactive Guided Imagery (sm), Tapping, Qigong, and Sandplay, enriches the therapeutic experience, emphasizing self-compassion and mindfulness. Michele is committed to helping individuals recover their inner sense of well-being.
