Meet the owner, Michelle Strigotte, from personal struggles to professional healing;

I am Michelle, the devoted spirit behind Serene Integrative - an outpatient clinic designed with a holistic approach, catering to the complete well-being of an individual, not just the mind. My journey, both personally and professionally, has instilled in me a fervor for understanding, compassion, and resilience.

From an early age, social anxiety was my shadow, but so too was a tenacity to push through, often hidden behind laughter and a predisposition to focus on the brighter side of things. Although I excelled academically and formed bonds easily, comprehending the nuances of my surroundings and the motivations of those around me remained a challenge.

Life later introduced me to its harshest lessons, one of which was surviving an emotionally turbulent marriage. As a mother, witnessing the impact of this tumult on my two children was heart-wrenching. My son, though reserved, navigated the world with commendable independence. My daughter, an artistic soul, grappled with both academic and relational challenges - an odyssey that led me to understand the intricacies of ADHD.

As they grew, my path became clearer. My life's trials, though overwhelming, crafted a resilience in me that I realized could be a beacon for others. With this newfound purpose, I pursued a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling. My subsequent role at a psychiatric residential facility expanded my understanding and scope, while my training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, Integrative psychology, and neurosciences deepened my expertise.

Today, as the proud owner of Serene Integrative, my mission is multifaceted. I strive to be a beacon for single parents, children and young adults with disabilities, couples facing relational turmoil, and anyone seeking a compassionate ear. I provide not only scholarly counsel but also wisdom drawn from personal experiences. My approach emphasizes the power of resilience, hope, and optimism, even when faced with overwhelming odds.

Join me at Serene Integrative, and let's journey towards holistic healing together.
