Michelle Brewer
Michelle Brewer is a Counselling Therapist who helps clients uncover and understand the stories behind their patterns by drawing from both traditional therapy and psychedelic integration. She believes that our habits and struggles often have a protective origin, and healing begins with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. She has a special interest in disordered eating, trauma recovery, and integration work that turns insights into lasting change. Michelle welcomes anyone ready to take a courageous step toward deeper self-understanding and growth.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
