Hi, my name is Michele Dubuisson and I‘m on your team.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we are all resilient and each of us has unique strengths. I work with my clients to build on these strengths, increase their insight, and develop the trust needed to achieve their goals. I do this by providing a safe space in which you may process your experiences, express your feelings, challenge unhealthy relationship patterns, and develop self-awareness. At a very young age I became aware that I wanted to become a helpful resource for others on their path through life. I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Chicago in 2006 and I have over 10 years of experience providing counseling to a diverse range of clients. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Illinois and my practice is informed by my experience as a student and creator of art: I hold a BA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin. As part of my training, I completed two clinical internships counseling adolescent girls at a high school and counseling survivors at a rape crisis center. My employment experience includes providing home based therapy to parenting adolescents, trauma focused therapy with DCFS wards, individual/group/family therapy in a psychiatric hospital (with adults, children, and adolescents), and family and child therapy in an outpatient mental health center. As a private practitioner, I continue to be inspired and motivated by clients’ resilience! |
While some therapists focus on problems, I focus on patterns and identifiable solutions for your everyday life. I see myself as an ongoing support for my clients whether they are suffering from acute or past trauma, experiencing a breakup, or simply making an important life-transition.
Although I specialize in working with creatives, teens, and those in the helping profession, I enjoy working with a wide-variety of people and problems. Curious about my style?
