Michelle Cusick

My work is trauma-informed and rooted in nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness. I support adults, high-performing professionals, college students, military families, and children (8+) navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and life transitions. Together, we slow things down, make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, and build practical tools that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Areas of Focus

  • Therapy for high-performing adults navigating stress, trauma exposure, and burnout.

    Many of my clients are competent, capable people who are used to handling pressure—but over time the demands of work, responsibility, and life can begin to take a toll.

  • I often work with individuals in high-pressure roles, including:

    • Professionals in demanding careers

    • Adults in leadership or high-responsibility roles

    • First responders

    • Healthcare professionals

    • Military members & veterans

    These individuals often carry significant responsibility and are used to performing at a high level even when under stress.

  • Within this work, I commonly help clients address:

    Anxiety and chronic stress
    Trauma and trauma exposure
    • Burnout and emotional exhaustion
    ADHD in high-functioning adults
    • Major life transitions
    • Emotional regulation and resilience
