Michelle Barenchi
Making lasting changes in your relationships, feeling more connected to your partner and others, and having a safe place to share are all important elements when seeking therapy. I specialize in strengthening communication skills that can lead to increased intimacy and connections. You and your partner may be stuck in repetitive patterns that do not utilize your personal strengths to the fullest potential. Therefore, my approach involves identifying your strengths and proposing a treatment plan that utilizes them.During couple’s counseling each person’s individual strengths are identified, as well as the strengths of the couple as a whole systemic unit. My approach, in general, is to provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for every person to learn and grow within themselves, their relationships, and their experiences.I am an LGBTQ+ ally, sex-positive, and poly & kink friendly.
