About Michelle Anderson

We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” — Brené Brown

Supervised by Laura Melgosa, LMFT 34899

I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I have completed my master’s degree program in Counseling Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy and am preparing for licensure through weekly supervision provided by LMFT, Laura Melgosa.

I work collaboratively with individuals (ages 12+), couples, and families surrounding a variety of issues including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, life transitions, coping skills, stress management, domestic violence, and interpersonal relationships. I have a special interest in working with and supporting LGBTQ+ individuals around sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

My approach to therapy is integrative and dependent upon the client’s unique needs, as there is no “one size fits all” with therapy. I strive to build a compassionate relationship with my clients by supporting them and guiding them towards making the changes they are looking for. Together we will explore the challenges you face and work toward positive change.

I have a background in domestic violence prevention work, working with both teen and adult relationships. I have also earned the 65-hour state of California certification to be a Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Counselor. I believe it is important to understand what is considered healthy and unhealthy, to recognize abusive behavior, how to identify “red flags”, and learn to establish healthy boundaries. Knowledge is power when it comes to breaking the cycle of abuse.
