Hello Central New York families and beyond! Let’s take a moment to introduce Nurturing Connections Marriage and Family Therapy co-owner, Michelle VanHatten, LMFT.

Michelle is a compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping children and families navigate behavioral and emotional challenges. Drawing from her own personal parenting experiences, Michelle has gained a deep understanding of the complexities families face, including issues like unexplained anger, aggression, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and hyperactivity. This insight allows her to connect with families in a unique, empathetic way, guiding them through difficult moments with understanding and support.

Michelle’s approach is holistic and relationship-focused, moving beyond traditional therapy techniques to explore the deeper factors that impact a child’s well-being. She integrates an individualized framework that considers diet, cognition, and sensory needs, tailoring interventions to support the whole child and family. By providing parents with practical tools and strategies, Michelle empowers them to reconnect with their children, improve communication, and strengthen family bonds.

Her therapeutic style combines compassion with direct guidance, helping families to create lasting, positive change by transforming behavioral patterns and fostering healthier dynamics. Michelle believes that with the right support, families can rediscover the joy of parenting and nurture meaningful, resilient relationships that support emotional well-being and growth.

Welcome!

At Nurturing Connections Family Therapy, attachment theory serves as the foundation for all services, and provides the building blocks for emotional regulation, empowerment and family connection. This approach to treatment spurs parents and caregivers to be curious and ask what is the need underlying the behavior? Evidence based interventions such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, Trauma and Loss in Children, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Resiliency Model and somatic sensory based therapy activities are utilized in conjunction with the overall attachment framework to navigate and process trauma safely.

I have had the privilege of previously working at Vera House stationed at the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center providing trauma therapy for the past 6+ years. I am trained in TRM Level 1 & 2 (Trauma Resiliency Model Level 1 & 2, TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, TRM Trauma Resiliency Model.

Due to my personal journey as a foster parent and adoption I feel a strong connection and understanding to families navigating some of the highs and lows of these life experiences. Providing support and witnessing children, families and individuals grow through traumatic experiences is a great joy and something I feel blessed to continue here.
