Dr. Michelle Flaum: Your Partner in Mental Health
Individual Counseling for Adults
If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions and change, loss, stress, relationship concerns, or if you want to learn more about yourself and how to uncover and build on your unique strengths, I offer counseling services that honor the unique person you are while empowering you to make the most of your "one wild and precious life." (Poet Mary Oliver had a way with words!)

If you've experienced medical trauma, it's important to seek help from a counselor skilled in working with this unique kind of trauma. As an author, teacher, and researcher in the area of medical trauma, I have the qualifications to provide expert care when you are at your most vulnerable.

Consultation + Speaking
