Welcome

Have you been struggling and unsure of what steps to do take?

Have you seen a counselor in the past, only to be left feeling unsatisfied?

Are you a parent worried and scared about how to help your teenager overcome obstacles in these adolescent years?

Are you a teen not knowing how to navigate the everyday anxiety that appears when you are in school?

Are you in college and unclear of what it is you want to do with the classes you’re studying?

Do you have reservations about counseling?

If any of the above scenarios applies to you, then please let me help! Over the last 8 years I have worked with teens who struggle with a huge range of challenges over the years from suicidal ideation, self harming behaviors, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, personality disorders, amongst many others. I believe my job is to be of help so when a client goes from struggling to thriving, this is what it is all about. I love seeing my clients who are willing to do work in and out of session, benefiting from the counseling process and healing along the way. Please give me a call if you are seeking counseling and are ready for positive change to occur.


I use a multisensory approach to counseling and at times I use a variety of theories in one single session depending on the needs of the client. This creative approach that leads to flexibility on my part, makes a real impact in the results that my clients see from each counseling sessions. Using this multisensory approach leads my clients from struggling to thriving in a short amount of time. If you are interested in seeing real results by the impact of this approach, please give me a call.

About Me

Personally I enjoy hiking, forest bathing, cooking, listening to records and art. I love to study and continue to improve, filling my bucket over the years with a variety of degrees, as well as skills I have gained from the many conferences and workshops I have attended. I am bilingual, having lived in Monterrey, Mexico while I received by MBA in 1995. From there I had several different jobs and landed in education in 2008 when I taught high school Spanish for six years. While teaching, I started the graduate program in counseling at The University of Texas at San Antonio. In 2014 I graduated and became a high school at-risk counselor where I enjoyed offering my services to students who are at high risk and have a multitude of concerns. Today, I continue to work with middle and high school students as a crisis intervention counselor in an alternative school setting and I offer individual and group counseling to best meet their academic, emotional, mental and social needs. I received my LPC in the Fall of 2018. I opened Consulting By Michelle, PLLC in January of 2020 with the idea of getting to help more people. I offer professional counseling, happiness engineering and public speaking services. Please contact me for more information.
