"I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I work collaboratively with each person to build something that fits their values, their goals, and their life."
Michelle’s direct, grounded style tends to resonate with those new to therapy—particularly first responders, healthcare workers, military members, and individuals from blue-collar backgrounds. She values honesty, humour, and real-life tools that help clients move toward what matters most.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Dr. St. Pierre specializes in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—a gold-standard, evidence-based approach. She helps clients break free from compulsive cycles and regain control over their thoughts and behaviours in a safe, supportive environment.
Anxiety, Depression & Mood Disorders
Anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges are among the most common—and treatable—mental health concerns. Dr. St. Pierre uses evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based approaches, to help clients manage distressing thoughts, regulate emotions, and reconnect with what brings meaning and energy to their lives.
Trauma
Unresolved trauma can affect how we think, feel, and relate to others. Dr. St. Pierre offers compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help clients process difficult experiences, heal emotional wounds, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Dr. St. Pierre provides Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and other evidence-based treatments for PTSD. Her trauma-informed approach supports clients in processing painful memories, reducing avoidance, and reclaiming a sense of safety and control in their lives.
Substance Use
Substance use can be complex and deeply personal. Dr. St. Pierre offers non-judgmental, evidence-informed therapy to help clients explore their relationship with substances, reduce harm, and work toward goals that align with their values and wellbeing.
