The foundation of my therapeutic approach is Internal Family Systems therapy, but I also draw heavily from Narrative Therapy and the Gottman Method in my work. I am committed to maintaining a liberation-focused and anti-oppression stance in my work, and welcome clients of all racial identities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, genders, relationship orientations, neurotypes, and physical or intellectual abilities. I also strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel safe to express and challenge themselves. I believe that laughter is an important part of healing, and that therapy can be joyful and liberating as well as emotional and challenging. When I’m not seeing clients, I like to embroider, bake, listen to podcasts, explore Philadelphia, play video games and TTRPGs, and hang out with my cat, Noodle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6063f99bc8924e5043c01daa/1621224279737-0JCL0A52IMQX6MKZR2V9/44_Carolyn-Michaels-HeadshotsR.jpg About - Background and training I am a fully licensed provider in the state of Pennsylvania (license number #MF001448) and can provide telehealth and in-person therapy to clients who are physically located in PA.
