Therapist

I have been an independently licensed clinician for the last 18 years but I have been in the field of treating clients with addictions and trauma for 35 years. I work within individuals and couples and I strongly believe in and support any individuals right to Discover and nurture the physical, emotional, sexual, and spiritual aspects of who they are and what it just means to be human; this is a judgment free zone so it's important for me to create environment and be fully present to hold a space in order to explore some frightening or painful places. We explore shame based family values, traumatic events and it's impact on clients day-to-day life and relationships. This is someplace you can come to heal.

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.
