Michelle Shifflett, LCSW
Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a licensed therapist offering counseling services with a focus on trauma therapy approaches. Since 2015, I have been working in the social work field in the Charlottesville area. I believe in a strength-based and relationship-focused approach when working with clients.
Through my experience in clinical social work, I have developed a passion for helping individuals who experience symptoms of anxiety, insecure attachment, and PTSD, particularly adult women and first responders.
I find that an integrative approach to therapy, which includes EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Parts Work, Somatic Interventions, and Attachment Repair, is most beneficial for my clients. Our time together will focus on the modalities that you, as the client, find most supportive and helpful in your journey.
