Micaela works with adults (especially BIPOC women) and adolescent/teen girls as well as folks in the LGBTQIA+ community living in Michigan and Illinois who are ready to understand their emotions, heal their trauma, and learn healthier ways of coping. Whether you’re struggling with your past, your family, your identity, or your sense of self-worth, this is a space where your full experience is welcome.

Micaela specializes in helping clients work through:

• Emotional trauma

• Childhood wounds

• Religious trauma

• Complicated parent–child relationships

• Identity exploration

• Boundary-setting

• Anxiety, racing thoughts, and overwhelm

• Sleep difficulties

• Cultural or generational expectations

• Low self-worth

• Anger, guilt, or shame

• Teen emotional and behavioral struggles

Virtual therapy and EMDR are empowering way to process the things you’ve carried alone and find healthier ways to move forward.

All sessions are held virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that you can access from your phone, laptop, or tablet. You’ll receive a private link before each session — just find a quiet, comfortable space, and you’re ready to go. Virtual therapy offers flexibility, privacy, and convenience while still providing the same depth and connection as in-person sessions.

Prestige Mindsets Counseling accepts the following insurances:

Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Aetna, and United Healthcare (Optum)

As a client, you also have the option to pursue pay as it allows for complete privacy, no mental health diagnosis on record, and full control over their treatment.

Micaela uses a collaborative, client-focused approach that may include:

• Trauma-Focused CBT

• EMDR

• Mindfulness-based practices

• Narrative and identity work

• Emotional regulation strategies

• Culturally responsive and anti-oppressive care

Her goal is to create a safe, steady place for you to explore what’s been unspoken and uncover the roots of your emotional patterns.

Your first session is all about getting to know you. You’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to change. Micaela will ask thoughtful, gentle questions to help you feel comfortable and to start building a roadmap for your healing.

Yes. Confidentiality is a core part of the therapeutic relationship and something I take very seriously. What you share in therapy stays private and is protected by ethical and legal standards, with only very limited exceptions required by law (such as concerns about immediate safety). My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and fully supported when trusting me with your story.

Absolutely. Many teens open up more easily from the comfort of their own room, rather than sitting in an office. Virtual therapy allows them to engage in a space that feels natural while still receiving professional, supportive care.

Micaela offers virtual therapy for adults and teen girls in Michigan and virtual therapy for adults and teens in Illinois. Clients must physically reside in one of these states at the time of their session.
