About Dr. Michelle Nanji
I approach counseling from a brief psychodynamic lens, with integration of mindfulness based techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I strive to meet my clients where they’re at and empower them to cultivate compassion for themselves. I believe change can come when we work on our relationship with ourselves and learn to truly embrace, love and accept who we are. Self-acceptance can be very powerful in building connections and acceptance of others.
I also enjoy being creative in therapy and attend to the individual differences and needs of the people that come in to see me. I like to use tools, such as art, along with therapy to encourage creativity and flexibility in how to approach life’s ups and downs.
