Michelle Filippi-Robb, AZ LPC LPC-22906, MO LPC 2006009171

Hi! I'm Michelle – a 40-something cisgender heterosexual woman with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I co-own a small private practice with my husband (also a therapist), and while we don’t have human kids, we do have multiple dogs who I am over the top with as a proud "dog mom."

While this isn't something typically discussed in therapy, I’m liberal-leaning in my values and have a personal faith, though I wouldn’t describe myself as traditionally religious.

My Focus Areas:
Grief of all kinds (people, pets, jobs, life stages, etc. ).You do not have to have lost something to death to grieve it.
Depression
Life transitions (divorce, career shifts, big changes)

My Approach:
I practice Person-Centered Therapy, which means:
You set the pace—I'm here to listen, not to judge or direct.
I believe you are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you with empathy and support.

I honor and support those on a spiritual path—whether you’re just beginning to trust your intuition or already walking closely with it. If your healing journey includes spiritual guidance, you’ll find a safe, grounded space here.
I focus on building trust, validation, and a space where you feel safe to be yourself.

I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full-time. This perspective deepens my empathy and reminds me that no two experiences are the same—even when the issues look similar on the surface.

My Style:
I’m laid back and authentic while remaining professional. I don’t typically assign homework or suggest reading, though I might occasionally if it feels helpful.

Who I’m Not a Fit For:
I’m not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD-related symptoms. I am not a good fit for someone who is looking for therapist who provides a lot of structure and homework assignments.

A Few Things to Know:
Therapy Fit Matters: If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s okay! Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re welcome to unassign and continue your search—your comfort is most important.

Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here if you think we’d be a good match.
