Michele Lareau-Alves
Michele is an LMHC, and is a recently AASECT certified sex therapist, working in private practice with couples and sexual issues. She has been working in community mental health for 20 years where she started out addressing the complex struggles of children and families in the social services system. This led to a passion for working with the core unit of the family system, the couples and parents who can be instrumental in breaking the cycles of intergenerational trauma.
Over the years she has cultivated an approach that reinforces the need for joy, pleasure and a sense of wellbeing in life; and where mindfulness and wellness are foundational. Her work as a relationship and sex therapist invites the many expressions of relationship, identity and sexuality into the process of finding healing and reconnection, while also identifying and shifting the cycles and narratives that keep us stuck and hurting.
