Personal statement:

I strongly believe in the uniqueness of each individual, which is why I prefer to use an integrative approach to therapy. Based on an individual’s or family’s needs, I tailor a custom treatment plan utilizing cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and family systems techniques. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe, trustworthy environment in order to build a healthy and strong therapeutic relationship so that together we can identify precipitating/contributing factors and start the healing process. Please feel free to contact me to set up a consultation to determine if my services might be a good fit for your needs.

Gracias por visitar el sitio web de Orchard Mental Health Group. Soy la Dra. Michelle Pereira, psicóloga clínica bilingüe (inglés/español), licenciada en el estado de Maryland. Agradezco sinceramente su interés en mis servicios.

Mi enfoque terapéutico se basa en la convicción de que cada individuo es único. Por ello, utilizó un método integrativo, elaborando planes de tratamiento personalizados según las necesidades específicas suyas o de su familia. Estos planes suelen incorporar técnicas de terapia cognitivo-conductual, terapia psicodinámica y terapia de sistemas familiares.

Mi objetivo principal es establecer un entorno seguro y de confianza donde podamos construir una relación terapéutica sólida. A través de este proceso colaborativo, trabajaremos juntos para identificar los factores precipitantes y contribuyentes a sus desafíos y comenzar un proceso significativo de cambio y crecimiento.
