A curated safe space to meet you where you are in your current season of life.
Therapy catered to your unique needs. Services to help you reach your fullest potential and to improve your quality of life.
Welcome, I am glad you’re here.
Greetings! My name is Michelle Vo (pronouns: she/her/hers). I am a cis-gender Asian American Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I provide individual teletherapy services to adults. If you’ve stumbled upon my page, you’re likely interested in making a change in your life. I am here to be on that journey with you.
As a therapist, I strive to create a welcoming, warm, and safe space for you to be yourself. It is my ultimate goal to be open, compassionate, and curious, with a balance of humor and direction to introduce new skills to improve your day-to-day.
I partner with my clients to not only understand their life stressors but to also process and manage these challenges. From hearing your story, I will be able to provide an objective professional perspective. We will work together to identify your goals in therapy; common topics include building healthy relationships, self-kindness, and compassion, which all can enhance your quality of life.
“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you
Doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.”
Outside of therapy, I have a passion for making mental health careers and psycho-education accessible. That’s why I created a professional consultation service, to support mental health clinicians to reach their goals.
As an Asian American first-generation graduate myself, I understand the stressors of holding the weight of the pressures to “succeed” but also to “make my family proud”. There are spoken and unspoken societal stressors including the model minority myth for Asian Americans or simply being the first in your family to have new privileged opportunities. These opportunities are taken lightly. For individuals in the mental health field, I serve as an anchor and guide as you navigate training programs, and clinical hours, or preparing for their clinical exams, and even build your private practice. The service is developed to help you feel empowered during your journey as a professional in the field. This service will not review clinical cases and is solely focused on the individual’s confidence in navigating their career goals.
My colleagues and clients remind me that I am thorough, organized, and dedicated, which I believe helped me take the appropriate steps to achieve my experiences and roles as a first-generation student and professional. My passion and excitement show when I am able to support learning, support, and collaborate with individuals with a mission towards bettering communities; either through a small-start up or within your path as a mental health clinician.
