Micaela Schiff, LCSW
Message from Micaela
Every therapeutic journey is unique, and starting therapy can feel daunting. I'm dedicated to creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. My approach is all about building personalized, collaborative relationships, recognizing that each person's path to healing is different. In times of stress and uncertainty, I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques, including my training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), to support you. As your therapist, I aim to provide a compassionate and empathetic environment where your unique experiences and challenges are honored. I focus on nurturing a strong therapeutic relationship to encourage healing and growth, tailoring our work to meet your individual needs. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and emotions openly, using evidence-based methods to develop healthier coping strategies and resilience. I believe healing from personal loss, trauma, or major life transitions doesn't follow a single formula. My goal is to offer a safe space for you to process distressing experiences and foster recovery. Whether you're looking to overcome challenges or simply enhance your well-being, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
