Welcome to our space
A compassionate, evidence-based approach to therapy for individuals, couples and families, in person in Burlington and online across Ontario.
Does this sound familiar?
Managing the complexities of life is often a difficult and overwhelming task. We find ourselves stuck in the same old cycles, feeling lost, powerless and unheard.
Together we can explore the root causes of your struggles and develop new coping mechanisms and perspectives. The way we cope in the world is greatly influenced by how we see the world, and a fresh perspective is often the most profound first step.
Hi, I'm Michelle
Michelle Directo · She / Her / Hers
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Expressive Arts Practitioner with a private practice in Burlington, Ontario, serving clients both in person and online. I've been practising since 2018.
My previous experience in the health care field brings a non-judgmental helping style, compassionate openness and empathic listening to our sessions. I look forward to working with you to create positive changes, realize your goals, and find meaning in your life.
I hold a Master of Divinity in Clinical Counselling from Tyndale University and Seminary, and I'm registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (License #007741). Outside the practice, I'm a mother of four. I love to hike, dance, garden, read, play board games, and spend time with family & friends.
