Michele O'Mara, PhD, LCSW - Secure Client Area

MICHELE O'MARA, LCSW, PHD

Though I have the education of and credentials of a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana, my work is best described as coaching. With a Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology, Certification as an Imago Therapist, and the completion of all three training levels with the Gottman Method, I believe in education. What I do not believe in, however, are labels - which is the organizing principle behind what is commonly known as "mental health," and also referred to as counseling, therapy, and psychotherapy.

Coaching is my preferred modality. The focus in coaching is on how skill building. Specifically, I help lesbian couples communicate accurately and effectively; identify and regulate your emotions; repair hurts and resentments and develop a deeper understanding of one another's feelings and needs.

I will provide relevant resources, information, and guidance, as well as homework, and other strategies to assist you in making progress toward your goals.

In addition to lesbian couples counseling and coaching, I also offer relationship-transformation retreats for lesbian couples. (For more info about the Lesbian Couples Retreats)

My ultimate goal is to support you as you journey toward living the life you desire.
