Michele Hardwick

Michele Hardwick

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Hello, I am Michele Hardwick, and I have over 11 years experience as a Clinical Counselor. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a unique experiential approach, I specialize in guiding clients aged 16 to 65 through challenges such as anxiety, depression, and significant life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals who have a faith practice or those exploring their spiritual lives. I believe that spiritual growth can play a vital role in mental health and personal development. Recognizing that factors such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, relationships, and career significantly influence how we feel, I work collaboratively with clients to address these areas as part of our treatment plan. My practice encourages active participation in sessions, empowering you to make meaningful changes and improve your overall well-being.

Lacie Hamilton

Lacie Hamilton

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


I take an active role in therapy and typically don't do the minimalistic responses - though there is a time and place for this. I like to have conversational-style dialogue with clients, and feel that I am open and empathic while bringing in humor and "realness" to the session; I show up as my true self as much as possible.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University, and my MS in Counseling Psychology from SMU.

The primary modalities I find most impactful are EMDR (I am an EMDRIA Certificied EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-In-Training/CIT) with an attachment-focused and polyvagal theory lens.

I hold advanced training in EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, and others. I am an expert in treating trauma with medication-assisted psychotherapy and have completed numerous trainings in training from MAPS PBC, as well as a year-long fellowship in with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (Headway does not allow these services on their platform).

I am licensed in over 15 states and am a board-approved Associate counselor supervisor in multiple states as well, where I oversee the required supervised hours of associate-level counselors working towards their full licensure status.

In my non-therapy time, I enjoy cooking (and eating - I'm a bit of a foodie), concerts, reading, traveling, being outside, pilates (all hail the reformer!), and playing golf with my husband. We live in Austin, TX with our dog, Otter.

Dr. Kai Chuang

Psychologist

Virtual • New Mexico


I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and high performers—including Division I athletes, professionals, and anyone striving to meet high expectations. In my work, I’ve learned that growth happens at the edge of comfort—where support and challenge meet. My clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to be both direct and deeply compassionate, creating a space where they feel seen, understood, and encouraged to move forward.

Born in Taiwan, raised in Southern California, and trained in San Francisco and New Mexico, I bring a blend of cultural humility, life experience, and professional training into every session. As an Asian American therapist, I value identity, culture, and lived experience as essential pieces of healing. I aim to create a space where you can show up as your real self—without judgment, without masks.
