Michelle Vaughan Eldridge, LPC, ATR-BC, MA (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist

Therapist: Teens, Parents, Families & Adults

Michelle has a kindness that can feel like a verbal hug. She has a way of seeing people that makes them feel important, understood, and somehow a little more at home.

She is also an incredibly gifted artist and art therapist. I love walking into our art studio after hours and seeing the splashes and layers of paint left behind from everything that has taken place and taken shape there over the years. They feel like little traces of all the stories that have been explored and expressed both verbally and creatively in that space.

There is just something about Michelle that makes people feel seen, cared about and free to be themselves.

Meet Michelle...

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood concerns, trauma, and self-esteem challenges.

I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people as they move through healing and growth, and I strive to create a space that feels supportive, respectful, and collaborative.

Although clients and I do talk therapy together, I offer art therapy as an option for those drawn to creative expression. Art therapy can support emotional processing, self-expression, and insight without requiring artistic skill.

I also integrate sand tray and other experiential approaches, tailoring each session to the individual’s needs while honoring the connection between mind and body.

Outside of the office, I enjoy yoga, spending time outdoors, painting, baking, and being with my family.

I share life with my husband, our energetic daughter, our young son, and a very loved kitty.
