My motto is to live life to the fullest, and I strive to help you do the same! You may not yet know what it means to live life to the fullest, but we can work together to discover it. Life is colorful, and we all experience both joys and challenges, such as loss, trauma, depression, anger, and anxiety. Even in the face of these challenges, we can choose to live fully by increasing our awareness and making the best choices with the information we have. I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals, and I am here to help you navigate life’s complexities and reach your full potential. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Michiko Pepple, LPC, NCC, CCTP
Like you, I am not just a counselor, I wear many hats in life. I am a mother, wife, sister, friend, animal lover, cancer survivor, entrepreneur, and business leader, with first-hand experience in immigration, interracial marriage, and the loss of a parent, to name a few. I enjoy gardening, hiking, photography, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and love good food and drink. I appreciate the simple things in life and am gifted with the ability to find the strength and potential in others. I believe a great therapeutic relationship between counselor and client is vital to any successful transformation process. I hope you will find my brief introduction helpful and I am looking forward to helping you in your transformation journey.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing within ourselves. I specialize in working with children and families. My goal is to instill hope and healing for clients presenting with concerns related to post-traumatic stress, attachment, anxiety, grief/loss, depression, disruptive behaviors, social skills, parenting, and/or relational distress. I use a client centered, trauma-specific, holistic, and developmental approach to psychotherapy. I utilize therapeutic techniques such as EMDR, child-parent psychotherapy, TFCBT, sand-tray, play therapy, expressive arts, and mindfulness. I am a certified PCIT international therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a compassionate, easy-going, intuitive, and heart-centered therapist, mother, and friend. My goal is to inspire and empower you while creating a safe space for you on your healing journey. Hope to hear from you soon.

Kelsey brings her friendliness and love to our practice. She enjoys helping our clients and our providers alike. When she is not taking care of everyone at our practice, she is busy loving her children. If you are lucky, you may hear her small children in the background while on the phone with her. We love the fact that she is an amazing mother to her children while being our backbone!
