In her practice, Michelle utilizes numerous evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual's needs. She adopts a client-centered approach, listening deeply to her clients' experiences.

Psychology is the scientific study of the human mind and behavior, encompassing topics such as perception, cognition, emotion, personality, social behavior, development, and mental health. Psychologists employ various research methods and techniques, including experiments, surveys, case studies, and observations, to understand how people think, feel, and behave. This knowledge is used to develop treatments and interventions to improve mental health, enhance performance, and promote personal growth and well-being.

Psychotherapy is not only beneficial for individuals with mental health disorders but can also help those experiencing difficult life events or transitions, such as career changes or loss of loved ones. Sessions with a psychologist are typically 50 minutes long, but longer sessions of 80 minutes can be booked through the online calendar.

Psychologists utilize evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic therapy to help individuals manage and overcome mental health issues. Psychiatrists, on the other hand, are medical doctors who can prescribe medication in addition to providing psychotherapy.

There are various types of psychotherapy available, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, client-centered therapy, process-oriented therapy, schema therapy, trauma-sensitive therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

At Michelle McClintock Mindful Psychologist, we strive to accommodate our clients' needs and schedule appointments within two weeks. While some weeks may be busier than others, we avoid overloading our calendar to ensure availability for existing clients.
