Welcome our new student intern, Michelle! We are so excited to have her on the team!

Email her at michelle@mend-counseling.com to learn more about her services!

Michelle is currently pursuing her Master of Science in Counseling at Southern Methodist University and is an intern at Mend Counseling, under the supervision of Morton Nixon, LPC. Originally from Connecticut, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fairfield University. Michelle also completed Strategic Intervention Life Coach training through Tony Robbins and Cloé Madanes’ Core 100 certification program. She has experience providing mindset coaching for women struggling with body image and self-limiting beliefs in a private online fitness and nutrition business.

Michelle firmly believes in the philosophy: change your mindset, change your life. She is passionate about empowering clients to recognize their innate capacity for growth and transformation. By addressing negative beliefs often rooted in adverse childhood experiences, Michelle helps clients break free from unhelpful patterns of thinking and feeling that contribute to depression, anxiety, and other challenges. Her goal as a therapist is to cultivate a supportive, accepting, and collaborative environment where clients feel valued and heard. Together, they explore past experiences, identify maladaptive patterns, and create empowering narratives that foster healing and growth.

Her clinical focus is on teens and adults aged 14 and older facing mindset and mental health challenges. As a former ballerina, Michelle has a special interest in supporting performers and athletes navigating burnout and identity beyond their sport. She also integrates faith-based practices for clients who find spirituality meaningful in their healing journey. Her approach is insight-oriented, empathetic, and often infused with humor to encourage growth and fulfillment.

In her free time, Michelle enjoys dance classes, walking the Katy Trail, watching the Dallas Mavericks, exploring Dallas’ restaurant scene, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Michelle is supervised by Morton Nixon, MS, LPC

Congratulations D’Anna on Three Years with Mend!

As a Certified S*x Addiction Therapist Candidate (CSAT-Candidate), D’Anna specializes in supporting individuals and couples impacted by s*x and po*******hy addiction, betrayal trauma, and s*xually compulsive behaviors. Her work involves helping clients address shame and self-worth issues that arise from both addiction and betrayal. D’Anna’s training in attachment theory allows her to help clients identify and heal underlying attachment wounds that contribute to both addictive behaviors and relational distress. D’Anna is trained to administer numerous evidence-based assessments such as the S*xual Addiction Screening Test (SAST), the Post Traumatic Stress Index (PTSI), the S*xual Dependence Inventory (SDI), the Inventory for Partner Attachment, Stress, and Trauma (IPAST), and more.

D’Anna has specialized training in betrayal trauma and affair recovery, supporting partners who experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to their partner’s infidelity or s*xual addiction. She understands the profound impact of betrayal on an individual’s sense of safety, self-worth, and reality. She uses trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, somatic techniques, and psychoeducation to help clients regain stability, rebuild trust in themselves, and process the emotional devastation of betrayal. She guides couples through critical phases of crisis stabilization, therapeutic disclosure, emotional processing, and long-term trust restoration. She also facilitates therapeutic disclosure sessions, ensuring honesty and accountability in a way that fosters healing rather than further harm.
D’Anna takes a warm, humorous, and direct approach to therapy, helping clients feel at ease while tackling challenges head-on. Her warmth creates a safe, brave space, while her humor brings relief and perspective to difficult moments. With directness, D’Anna cuts through confusion and gently challenges her clients to foster growth and self-awareness. She believes therapy should be both meaningful and engaging, offering honest insights and collaborating with her clients to help them make real, lasting changes in their lives.

She loves helping clients reconnect with their identity and purpose!🤗

Gracie specializes in working with children (2+), adolescents, and young adults facing behavioral challenges, life transitions, identity exploration, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship struggles, and faith-related questions. She utilizes individual talk, activity, and play therapy, offering in-person and telehealth counseling at both our Mockingbird Station and Oak Cliff locations.

When she’s not working, Gracie enjoys going to concerts, exploring new restaurants and coffee shops, watching OU football, and walking the Katy Trail! 🤸‍♀️✨
