Michelle Stanton White offers compassionate, practical therapy for people facing anxiety, grief, depression or difficult relationships. She welcomes those who want help resolving a problem or improving a strained connection, and affirms that seeking support is a positive step toward change.

After a successful career in the computer industry, Michelle transitioned into clinical work because she is passionate about helping people lead better lives. She practices as an active, collaborative therapist who works with clients to identify self-defeating patterns, shift perspective, and make healthier choices.

Her approach draws on empirically supported methods – for example, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Solution-Focused strategies, Strategic Family approaches, and Motivational Interviewing – selecting the tools that best fit each situation. Michelle places high value on a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship, believing that real change grows from that connection. She is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a credential that reflects state training and practice standards (license CA LMFT 105622), and brings nine years of professional experience to her work in California. Her goal is to help clients move beyond current difficulties so they can build a happier, more productive life.
