Michelle Newton, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Marriage and Family Therapist (MA,MFT)

If you are reading this, chances are something feels off. Maybe you have been carrying more than you can hold, cycling through the same patterns, or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you love. You might be exhausted from trying to hold it all together, or from a lifetime of feeling like you do not quite fit. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know that what you are feeling makes sense, and you do not have to keep navigating it alone. I am a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely loves this work. For 18 years, I have had the privilege of sitting with people in their hardest moments and watching them find their way back to themselves. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, couples, and families, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress. If you have ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like traditional therapy just did not get you, you may find that this feels different. In our work together, you can expect honesty, warmth, and a space that is truly judgment-free. I will meet you where you are, and together we will find an approach that fits you, because therapy is never one size fits all.

This is a fully telehealth practice serving all of Washington State, offering flexible, accessible therapy from the comfort of your own space. Sessions are 45 to 50 minutes and scheduled based on your availability and clinical need. My practice is grounded in evidence-based, relationally focused care, drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), the Gottman Method, Imago relationship therapy, somatic therapy, and narrative therapy, among others. Treatment is never one size fits all. Every client receives an approach tailored to their unique needs, goals, and the way their mind works. I accept insurance and am happy to assist with questions about coverage and benefits. New clients are welcome, and I look forward to connecting with you.
