Michelle Kirn

Michelle Kirn

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hi, I’m Michelle — a therapist who believes healing happens through connection, understanding, and a touch of humor along the way. I grew up in Rochester, New York, so you’ll notice a bit of that East Coast directness in my style — I say what I mean, and I care deeply about helping you get to the heart of what’s really going on.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Western New Mexico University, where I discovered my passion for helping people heal and grow through life’s toughest challenges. I love working with individuals who have faced trauma, live with chronic health problems, or struggle with anger and other overwhelming emotions.

My own path to becoming a therapist began with my personal experience living with chronic health issues — so when I offer empathy, it’s not just professional, it’s personal. I’m an engaged, hands-on therapist who takes you and your situation seriously. Together, we’ll unpack what’s hard, find practical ways to cope, and reconnect you with your strength, balance, and a sense of calm.
