About Michalle
LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in New Mexico with 15 years of experience. Michalle Harmer helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She sees adolescents, young adults, and adults and works across urban and rural communities in New Mexico.
Harmer focuses on evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She works with survivors of sexual assault and interpersonal violence and with people facing shame, guilt, or personality and relationship challenges. She also supports young adults through transitions such as starting college or a new career.
Her practice pays attention to cultural and geographic context. Michalle has experience with multicultural, Indigenous, and Hispanic/Latinx communities and works with LGBTQIA+ people, first-generation college students, caregivers, and professionals experiencing high stress or burnout. She adapts her approach to the concerns each person brings.
Sessions involve talking through recent difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing specific skills to manage symptoms. For trauma-related work she uses several focused methods appropriate to adolescents or adults depending on the approach. Progress is measured in concrete changes such as better sleep, fewer panic reactions, or clearer communication.
Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Confirm current session options before booking.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured approach that helps process traumatic memories and teaches coping skills. It is commonly used with adolescents and focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors linked to the trauma.Prolonged Exposure involves gradual, supported engagement with distressing memories and situations to reduce avoidance and anxiety over time. It is typically used with adults experiencing post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, needs, and stage of recovery. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new concerns emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
