Michelle Mauzé

I’m a therapist who’s passionate about helping people find freedom from the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and addictions — and all the messy stuff that can come with them. My background is in psychology and social work, and along the way I’ve trained in a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as DBT, IFS, CBT, and EMDR. Basically, I like having a lot of tools so we can figure out together what works best for you.

At the heart of my work, I believe healing happens through real connection and the courage to be vulnerable. My role is to walk alongside you through the hard, scary parts so you don’t have to face them alone. My hope is that together we’ll untangle what’s been holding you back so you can reconnect with your path, your purpose, and your own free spirit.

I believe healing isn’t about “fixing” people — because no one is broken. Healing is about coming home to yourself, finding safety in your body, and reconnecting with the parts of you that may have been pushed aside by pain, trauma, or fear.
I view therapy as a space where you can be fully seen and supported as you move through what feels heavy. I draw on many approaches, while always prioritizing a safe, compassionate environment where growth can unfold at its own pace.
I believe deeply in the power of community, connection, and mindfulness. When you have support, trust in your own ability to heal, and space to slow down and listen inwardly, growth and freedom naturally follow.
My philosophy is simple: life isn’t just about “getting by.” At Free Spirit Counseling, I want to help you truly live — free, connected, and aligned with your purpose
