Michelle Retton, MSW, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hi, I’m Michelle.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDR Certified Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), and Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor. My background includes mobile crisis intervention, inpatient psychiatric care, medical social work, veterans' mental health services, correctional mental health, intimate partner violence services, and private practice.
I specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1). I am particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals, including those exploring a late diagnosis and seeking a better understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their lived experiences. I provide ADHD and Autism assessments that can offer diagnostic clarification and recommendations that may support treatment planning, workplace or educational accommodations, and discussions with medical providers regarding medication options when appropriate.
Much of my work focuses on understanding how trauma, attachment experiences, and relationships shape the way we view ourselves and interact with the world around us. I believe many of the struggles people experience make sense when viewed through the context of their lived experiences. Together, we explore patterns that may no longer serve you, increase self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
