Meet Our Team
Michelle
As a Social Worker, certified grief and trauma therapist, I help individuals and families identify, address, and move forward from adverse events in their lives through individualized counseling sessions.
For two decades I have been helping people regain balance in their lives. Working closely with individual suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other trauma reactions due to combat, sexual assault, accidents, childhood abuse and other life changing experiences, I have helped them reestablish their independence and move forward with their personal goals. I help people understand and feel their intense emotions and move through their pain by providing insight and resources to embrace feelings; finding peace and balance for their future.
After spending 14 years working for the Vet Center program with the Department of Veteran’s Affair’s, I was ready to expand my focus and opened Integrative Counseling Solutions. There are a lot of people out there who hurt and can’t fully embrace their lives because they don’t know who to talk to or are afraid to ask for help. Through my clinical work, volunteer work and time at the West Virginia Family Grief Center, I know I can help people move through the negative events in their lives by expanding their understanding of the mind/body connection and the role mental health plays in our physical health.
To help keep me balanced in my personal life; I practice yoga for clarity and flexibility, run to maintain heart and emotional health. For fun I enjoy spending time with my family, watching WVU sports and traveling. I believe that community involvement is important and belong to several community organizations as well as sit on the Board of the West Virginia Family Grief Center. In addition, I make it a priority for Integrative Counseling Solutions to support local programs and kid’s activities.
Leisa
I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked at Integrative Counseling Solutions since 2022, after many years of working in different facets of the criminal justice system. As a clinician, I strive to assist in understanding and addressing the challenges and effects of trauma, grief, and adversity, to restore balance in daily life. I am driven to support individuals through circumstances that cause uncertainty and distress and specialize in emotional, physical, and sexual abuse; infertility; grief/loss; relationship concerns; and substance misuse. It is ultimately my goal to assist in achieving long-term success through various treatment approaches, based on mutually determined therapeutic goals.
I utilize various treatment modalities, particularly EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an effective approach in addressing trauma and difficult events that cause negative symptoms, patterns, and harmful beliefs. I provide a safe and confidential space to help in identifying present symptoms and concerns and how they may relate to past experiences, finding ways to heal and move forward with successful coping strategies.
I want to make an impact with each person I meet and strive to empower each person to live life on their own terms, ideally feeling more supported and less alone during lows as well as highs in the journey of life. I ultimately hope to help individuals not just survive from trauma and adversity but to truly thrive.
