Let's Get Real

I’m Michelle Blue, and I’m here to tell you that therapy doesn’t have to be soft, sugarcoated, or stuck in vague conversations. Healing is messy, uncomfortable, and at times, brutally honest—but it’s also freeing, powerful, and deeply personal when you have the right person in your corner. That’s where I come in.

I help adults—many of whom are women—break free from anxiety, people-pleasing, and unresolved trauma so they can live more authentically, set healthy boundaries, and trust themselves again. My clients often feel stuck in patterns rooted in childhood experiences, emotionally immature caregivers, or a lifetime of putting everyone else first. Together, we work toward emotional freedom, deeper self-understanding, and a renewed sense of empowerment.

If you’re looking for someone who nods politely while you vent for 50 minutes, I’m probably not your person. But if you’re ready to get real, go deep, and take ownership of your healing, I’ll meet you there—with directness, compassion, and zero judgment.

I don’t believe I’m the expert on your life. I bring clinical skills, lived experience, and a commitment to being fully present—but you bring the truth, even if it’s buried under shame, self-doubt, or years of survival mode. Therapy with me isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about reconnecting with the parts of you that got lost, silenced, or told they were too much.

My practice is grounded in feminist values and built on four core principles: transparency, honesty, confidentiality, and autonomy. I believe trust is earned, not assumed—and that starts with showing up as a real human, not just a therapist behind a clipboard.

Most of my clients are professionals, caregivers, students, and creatives who look “fine” on the outside but feel like they’re constantly holding it together. They’re burnt out, anxious, resentful, or stuck in old roles that no longer serve them. They’re tired of playing small. If that sounds like you, we’ll probably work well together.

I won’t promise you easy. But I will promise real. You don’t have to hustle for your worth here.

This is the space where you live shamelessly.


My Values

Confidentiality

What we discuss in session stays in session. I uphold the highest standards of privacy and ethical care, so you can feel safe exploring even your most vulnerable thoughts and experiences.

Transparency

I communicate clearly about my approach, fees, processes, and what you can expect in our work together. No hidden agendas, no vague promises—just straightforward information so you can make empowered choices.

Autonomy

You are the expert in your own life. I’m here to guide and collaborate, never to dictate. You get to choose the pace, direction, and goals of your healing journey—because true empowerment comes from owning your path.

Honesty

I’ll always speak the truth—respectfully but directly. You deserve to hear what’s really going on beneath the surface, even when it’s uncomfortable. Honesty builds the trust we need for real growth.
