Michelle Hawk is currently completing her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. She is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families create meaningful shifts in their lives and relationships. Michelle believes there is value in embracing the full human experience, recognizing that hardship, joy, uncertainty, and growth are often intertwined.
Michelle enjoys working with couples, families, and individuals navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, and the complexities of being human. She is particularly interested in helping couples cultivate deeper emotional and physical intimacy, rebuild trust, improve communication, and develop more secure, fulfilling relationships. She is also passionate about supporting children and teens as they develop a stronger understanding of themselves, navigate difficult emotions, and build healthy connections with the people around them. She has a special interest in supporting individuals navigating faith deconstruction as they explore their beliefs and discover what feels authentic to them.
Her therapeutic approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration, with a relational perspective that recognizes the important role our connections and relationships play in shaping who we are. She draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as parts work. She strives to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up as they are and feel comfortable exploring all parts of their experiences. Her hope is to help individuals, couples, and families build stronger relationships with themselves and others and create lives that feel authentic, fulfilling, and connected.
Outside of counseling, Michelle enjoys spending time with her husband and their three boys, creating art, playing tennis, reading a good book, and taking time to slow down and recharge.
