Michele T Primavera

Michele brings an integrative perspective to her practice that considers the individual’s personal beliefs, cultural and societal influences, and the therapeutic relationship itself. She examines how identity, physical and spiritual health, sexual orientation, family of origin and past events influence one’s mental health. She believes strongly in the use of self-care techniques such as movement and meditation and thus, may teach breathing exercises or use guided meditations in session to help clients learn to alleviate stress. She utilizes various cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT) to challenge maladaptive schemas. Dr. Primavera provides individual therapy and occasionally, group therapy to clients ages 18 and older. She enjoys working with individuals dealing with issues stemming from: mood and anxiety; grief and loss, unresolved family of origin issues, adult AD/HD, balancing work and family, career and academic difficulties, adjustment, and identity. My goal is to help you reduce stress and live a more peaceful life.
