Michelle Kohut is a Nevada-licensed clinical professional counselor with 12 years of experience working as a therapist, in crisis response, and as a group therapist. She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career stress, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and attention-deficit issues, and has assisted many who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her clinical training includes multiple trauma-focused trainings across the lifespan, and her primary clinical focus is on children. She has experience working with young people who are involved with the child welfare system as well as those entering the system. Her undergraduate degree in criminal justice informs her ability to educate and guide parents who are interacting with child protective services to help foster more positive exchanges.

Michelle works with clients from age 3 through adults over 80. She has provided services within varied communities, including the kink community, the LGBTQ community, and among people experiencing homelessness.

Her therapeutic style is warm, interactive, and empathetic, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion without relying on stigmatizing labels. She values transparency in the therapeutic relationship and encourages that same openness from clients. Michelle’s approach draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods, and she tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs.

Seeking change takes courage, and Michelle is committed to supporting and empowering clients who are ready to take those first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She looks forward to working with new clients and helping them move forward.
