Michelle Kais, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
(she/her )
About Me
I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist for 10 years. I have a decade of experience working with women and families to overcome their generational past in order to create a life they truly envision. My client work uses mindfulness, somatic body work and EMDR. I also do life coaching for therapist moms to help them accomplish audacious goals through workshops, webinars, intensives and retreat experiences. It is my life's mission to serve women and communities in order to see instrumental growth in generational mental health and wellness.
Education & Experience
I graduate from University of Central Florida with a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have experience before private practice working in adolescent behavioral health for children on the spectrum, schools and in residential behavioral facilities. After encountering years of working with adolescents I moved to working with parents to help them find ways to reduce their mental health symptoms and teach mindfulness and somatic techniques to their children.
