Meet Micah

Licensed Professional Counselor &

Mental Health Service Provider 

Certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C)
Trained in EMDR, Ego-State Therapy, Spiritual Root System
Masters in Professional Counseling, Liberty University
Bachelors in Social Work, University of Tennessee, Knoxville

I am trained in EMDR, which is most commonly used to treat trauma or other ongoing issues that do not respond to traditional therapy methods. I am still amazed at how effective and efficient this type of therapy is. I also have training in the Spiritual Root System which helps clients understand more of their emotions and how to deal with them well.

 

Throughout my career, I have worked in a non-profit organization, a residential treatment center, as well as private practice, where I have been since 2017. Each of these settings has given me different lenses to look through to better understand what my current clients are coming in for and the various treatment methods available.

​

I have been married to my husband, Kevin, since 2009 and we have 3 beautiful children. We love having adventures together, whether it be going somewhere new or being in our own backyard. I also enjoy reading, being outdoors, singing, traveling, and learning about new cultures.

I operate in a person-centered, eclectic approach. I take each individual case and use the appropriate treatment type(s) for that specific person. The most important thing about our sessions is that it feels like a safe space for you to show up authentically, and that you feel equipped to seek healing and wholeness in a way that works for you.

​

With my degree and training in art therapy, I love getting to offer the integration of art making into sessions when it feels meaningful. Art therapy is a wonderful modality of therapy that utilizes the power of art making to express,

explore and make sense of things that verbal language sometimes misses. No artistic skill is needed! 

​

I most recently worked at a treatment center for eating disorders where I worked with all types of eating disorders, but there is almost always other intersecting mental health struggles. I gained experience in many mood and personality disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, life transitions, interpersonal relationship struggles, and more.

​

In my free time I loved to spend time with my family, being outside, painting landscapes, reading books and drinking coffee with friends.

Hunting Arrows

Why the name Arrow?

 I chose the name “Arrow” because of the many ways that arrows characterize my desires for each of my clients. An arrow symbolizes reaching your goals and achieving your targets, which is exactly what I want each client that steps into my office to be able to do.

​

For those who need direction, who may feel lost or stuck:

My desire is to help you get to the root of what has been keeping you stuck. The goal is not only to get you unstuck; I want to help you be able to point your arrow in the direction you need to go, to find your passions that will keep driving you forward.

For those who have deep wounds from the arrows of others:

My desire is to sit with you in this hurt and grief; to help give guidance to the path of healing and courage.

For those who are in survival mode, only using their arrows for defense and not for a more fulfilling life:

My desire is to help you process what brought you into survival mode in the first place and then to find ways to regain purpose and get filled back up again. ​
