Meet Michelle Strigotte, the devoted spirit and driving force behind Serene Integrative Services. With a holistic approach that emphasizes complete well-being—not just the mind—Michelle has transformed her personal journey into a sanctuary for those seeking to heal.
Her early battle with social anxiety fueled a tenacity that inspired her to seek the silver linings amidst life’s challenges. Although academic success came easily and connections formed naturally, understanding the subtle intricacies of life and the emotions of others was a struggle.
Life's trials deepened her empathy, especially during her turbulent marriage, where she witnessed the impact of emotional strife on her two children. Her son, quietly independent, and her daughter, a gifted artist facing challenges with ADHD, spurred Michelle to comprehend the complexities of mental health more profoundly.
Drawing from her own experiences, Michelle pursued a master’s degree in clinical counseling. Her tenure in a psychiatric residential facility and specialized training in modalities like EMDR, CBT, and integrative psychology paved the way for her transformative vision—one where resilience and healing are possible for everyone.
Today, at Serene Integrative, Michelle stands as a beacon of hope for single parents, children and young adults with disabilities, couples in crisis, and anyone seeking a compassionate connection. Her mission is not just to provide expert counsel but to share wisdom born of personal experience, helping others navigate their paths with resilience, hope, and optimism.
Join Michelle at Serene Integrative Services and embark on your journey toward holistic healing and empowerment together.
