Michelle Song, M.Ed, M.Phil

I believe people are innately built for connection with others and I hope to invite you with empathy, honesty, and compassion as we work together to connect you with your authentic self and support systems. I incorporate person-centered, emotion-focused therapy along with attachment and feminist theories. I like to gently challenge and laugh with clients during sessions, and I believe therapy can be most transformative when you feel safe and empowered enough in our therapeutic relationship to be vulnerable. I am honored to hold space for you.

I am passionate about embodying intersectional liberation work in my professional and personal life. This can mean exploring how we interact with our identities and systems while still centering your lived experiences. I am invested in supporting clients with navigating their multifaceted and intersectional identities, including gender, sexuality, race, and relationship structures. I especially invite Black and Indigenous folks, people of color, and immigrants who face intergenerational cultural barriers. My social locators inform my experiences and internalized biases, and I am committed to my own continuous self-work and education so that I can provide ethical, trauma-informed care for my clients.

I support people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relational issues, or identity struggles. I am also interested in working with individuals and couples of all identities who are navigating polyamory, kink/BDSM, and other relationship dynamics. I love to think about how we communicate and how people protect themselves from hurt and trauma. These protective functions, narratives, and behaviors may show up in relationships—including the one with yourself. Together we can work towards awareness, self-compassion, and change that feels right for you.
