I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from Utah State University. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I have worked in the child welfare system for 10 years, advocating for families and individuals by helping them improve their lives and reach their highest potential.
I'm a Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been working professionally as a therapist since 2023. However, I began working in the mental health field with children in foster care in 2016. My time with those kids made me realize that my passion for helping people was in therapy, not in medicine. During my program, I interned in the Alaska Child Trauma Center with kids as young as 2.5 years old. After getting my Master's degree, I began working in inpatient hospitals with teenagers. These experiences are what led to my interest in helping people of all ages work through trauma, suicidal ideation, and behavioral issues. As well as helping parents find the best way to manage their children's behaviors and find the best way to improve their relationship.
Are you tired of treating symptoms without understanding what's actually causing your anxiety, depression, trauma, or emotional struggles? Lasting healing begins by addressing the root causes of mental health challenges—not simply masking them. I'm Michelle Rawls, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering personalized, root-cause-focused care.
I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from carrying more than they ever should have had to. I bring a grounded, real-world approach to therapy that values honesty, self-trust, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you feel more at home in yourself—not just “functional,” but genuinely alive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Orem, UT
Searching for therapists in Orem starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People look for therapy in Orem for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, and major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and the populations they work with. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Orem, local office options may be more limited than in larger metro areas, so virtual therapy can expand your search across Utah. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Downtown Orem, University Parkway, or nearby Utah County communities, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. As you narrow your options, check whether each therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and fit.
Therapy in Orem can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Orem, review profiles, and find someone who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
