Michelle Cohen Negri

As a former professional athlete and licensed clinical social worker, I bring a unique and empowering perspective to therapy. My background in competitive sports shaped my belief in the power of discipline, inner strength, and resilience, values I now integrate into my clinical work with clients facing life’s most difficult challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and bereavement, trauma, and chronic or terminal illness. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry emotional pain, loss, or fear of the unknown, and I’m here to provide a compassionate and grounded space for healing and self-discovery. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical. I incorporate a combination of Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices to help clients better manage distress, build emotional regulation skills, and move toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and how to create realistic, values-driven steps forward. I believe deeply in every person’s capacity for resilience and growth—even in the face of adversity. If you’re ready to begin (or continue) your journey toward healing and personal clarity, I’d be honored to support you. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe space where we can explore your story together and develop meaningful, sustainable strategies for healing and growth. I truly believe in the capacity for resilience within every person, and I’m passionate about helping you uncover yours. If you’re ready to begin or continue your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
