A Better Version Collaborative Counseling

03/12/2026

Exciting news! We have a new addition to our team!

✨ Welcome Michelle to ABV Counseling! ✨

Michelle brings over 30 years of experience in community behavioral health and has a deep passion for supporting individuals through life’s most difficult chapters. She works with those who have experienced trauma across the lifespan, individuals who have loved ones struggling with addiction, and those who are living in recovery themselves.

Michelle strives to create a safe, supportive space where clients can process their stories, work through shame and guilt, and reconnect with their identity and purpose.

For clients who desire it, Michelle also offers faith-integrated counseling, incorporating God-centered principles, prayer, and scripture as meaningful tools within the therapeutic process.
She has a special passion for working with women ages 55+ who may be navigating life transitions such as retirement, family changes, grief, loss, or health challenges. Michelle believes these seasons, while uncertain, can also become powerful opportunities for growth and rediscovery.

Outside of sessions, Michelle enjoys spending time outdoors (especially camping) and cherishes time with her husband, their two adult children, and their grandson. She also shares her home with a beloved dog and cat.

🌿 We’re grateful to have Michelle join the ABV Counseling team.

If you or someone you know could benefit from working with Michelle, we’d love to connect!

Not all therapy sessions look the same. Some include thoughtful conversation, emotional work…and sometimes clients sharing their doggies with me! 💜 Like Kiko…I’m obsessed.

Seasonal depression isn’t just “in your head.” Your environment matters. 🏡❄️

Science shows that small changes at home—like increasing light exposure, supporting your sleep-wake rhythm, and reducing sensory drain—can significantly improve Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms.

A few therapist-approved tips:
☀️ Morning light (natural or light box)
🌿 Bring nature indoors
🕯 Warm, layered lighting
⏰ Consistent sleep & wake times
🔥 Create spaces that support movement, not just rest

If winter feels heavier than usual, you’re not weak—and you’re not alone. Support helps. 💚

🎆 As we close out 2025… 🎆

We want to take a moment to honor every person who chose growth, healing, or even the smallest step toward a better version of themselves this year. Those steps matter more than you know.

At A Better Version Collaborative Counseling, we are grateful for the trust you place in us, and we’re proud to walk beside you through the messy, meaningful, courageous parts of becoming who you’re meant to be.

Here’s to setting boundaries, choosing rest, asking for help, and letting go of what no longer fits as we move into a brand new year.

✨ Wishing you a grounded, hopeful, and gentle start to 2026,

💜The ABV Team

Oh yes, the holidays:
Where boundaries go to die and everyone suddenly has opinions about your life. 😂😂

If this season has you feeling overstimulated, emotionally fried, or quietly counting the minutes until it’s over—therapy can help.

✨ We have availability for new clients.

Holiday Burnout doesn’t look like collapsing — it looks like irritability, zoning out, perfectionism, trouble sleeping, and a short fuse.

This time of year adds pressure to
✔️ be joyful
✔️ say yes to everything
✔️ keep traditions alive
✔️ manage finances
✔️ hold everyone else together

If your mental health feels stretched thin, it’s not just you.
Your nervous system isn’t built for nonstop expectation.

If you need support this season, our team at A Better Version Collaborative Counseling is here to help you reset, breathe, and feel more like you again.

🐾 Therapy is better with dogs! 🐾
I love it when clients bring their sweet pups to session. 🐶💛 — they’re always welcome here at A Better Version Collaborative Counseling!

Because sometimes the best co‑therapists have four legs and wagging tails. 🐕✨
