Michelle St. Raymond

Michelle St. Raymond is a heart-centered clinical social worker who brings three decades of experience to her work with individuals and families. She practices in Louisiana, holds a Louisiana clinical social work license, and serves as a board-approved clinical supervisor. Originally from the New Orleans/Covington area and having spent time living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, she combines Southern roots with exposure to diverse communities.

Her clinical focus centers on trauma recovery, family-of-origin dynamics, and relationship growth. Michelle also integrates natural healing approaches and mindfulness practices into care, and she supports people navigating transitions, struggling with anxiety, and working to express themselves more fully.

Michelle understands that change can be disorienting - especially when the future feels undefined. Bodies, minds, and emotions can become stuck during life shifts such as aging, job transitions, health challenges, and family re-creations. Moving forward often requires new skills, shifts in thinking, and compassionate self-acceptance.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical tool to help clients replace old patterns of thought when they no longer serve, and she emphasizes inner-body awareness to strengthen the mind-body connection. Nurturing body, mind, and spirit is an essential part of her approach to healthy transition, particularly in turbulent times.

In collaboration with each person she sees, Michelle helps co-create a new direction guided by the client’s own wishes and goals. She frames herself as a skilled guide while the client remains the leader - believing that meaningful change requires action and that having a compassionate professional beside you can make that path more navigable.
