About Michelle Bates, MSW, LCSW
Michelle has more than 15 years of experience treating adults and seniors. She provides gender-affirming mental health care and completes gender-confirmation surgery evaluations. Michelle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to assist patients in developing strategies and coping mechanisms and challenging old patterns that create intrusive thoughts. Her favorite moments are the “lightbulb” moments when patients say, “I’ve never looked at it that way before.” This signals that a positive shift is happening.
