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.
