As a Black and Latina woman who grew up with a military parent and an immigrant parent, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and adapting to multiple cultures.
Hi! My name is Michelle Flood and I am a multicredentialed, multi-degreed, and multi-disciplined mental health professional with 25 years in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from Florida State University, and a Master of Business and Administration from Savannah State University. Although I have worked with clients of all ages, my specialty ages that I serve are the children/adolescent and geriatric populations. These populations often struggle expressing their feelings and it is my pleasure to assist!
As a therapist who has also been a client, I know the thought of trying therapy can be anxiety-provoking and stress-inducing, especially for my aforementioned specialty populations. Because of that, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable with the therapy process so it feels like a safe space to express themselves without judgment.
Life can be so tough sometimes, making it difficult for us to engage in self-care. However, it can be so much easier to manage with a therapist's help. Being a therapy client myself has helped me so much throughout my life and I enjoy paying it forward. I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist with your self-care journey!

I became a therapist because I realized how much earlier access to support could have changed the lives of my loved ones, and today I take a direct, empowering approach that helps adults recognize they already have the capacity to grow and heal.
Hi, I'm Courtney, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and purpose. I primarily work with adults (18+) experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment-related challenges, including major life transitions, daily stress, and difficulty regaining balance. Many of the people I work with are seeking practical tools, self-awareness, and confidence to move forward. I take a direct, collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients recognize the strengths they already possess while developing strategies that support meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy works best when it's supportive and honest. My approach is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong," I help clients identify patterns keeping them stuck, build on their strengths, and develop practical strategies for everyday life. My goal is to help you leave therapy feeling confident and resilient.
I became a therapist because I realized how much earlier access to support could have changed the lives of my loved ones. That experience inspires my belief that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. Whatever brought you here, you deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Therapy for students helps with a range of challenges from normal struggles that come with moving from childhood to adulthood to challenges that stem from academic pressures and stress. If a student is suffering — whether they’re feeling moody, anxious, discouraged, or experiencing relationship issues — they can benefit from talking to a provider at Thriveworks in Savannah, GA.
Therapy for students works by helping them learn from their experiences and develop healthy tools for dealing with difficult circumstances. When they meet with Thriveworks Savannah therapists, they can trust that they’ll receive a treatment plan that is personalized to their challenges and needs.
Therapy for students at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and through Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of therapy for students depends on the individual’s needs as well as the goals that they might have. That said, generally, therapy for students will last for several months.
School should be a time to get excited about the future and prepare for your best life. And while this remains true for some, for others school is a very different reality. It comes with extraordinary amounts of pressure and the risk for unhealthy mental health.
There are so many ways for students to learn, grow, and have fun. But with more of these opportunities comes more opportunities to “fail” by society’s standards. Nowadays, students are expected to have healthy relationships, do well in academics, and fill their time with extracurriculars that will launch them into the next phase of life. Along with that, there’s the peer pressure of drugs, bad habits, and fitting in. No wonder student’s mental health declines during the school year!
Thriveworks Savannah works to take some of the pressure off of students and teach them techniques to keep them healthy and thriving.
Difficulty is apart of growing up. It can even be beneficial to their development. But when is it too much? It’s a tricky balance, especially when you’re an adult and can’t distinguish normal student stress and mood swings from something more dangerous. Thriveworks Savannah is here to walk you through some options and decide on the next best steps.
Usually, when the struggles become prolonged, it becomes dangerous. Being stressed the night before a test is normal. Being every night for two weeks before a test is not. It can start to impact all parts of their life in negative ways that they don’t deserve. Counseling for students is one way that students can be heard and learn healthy coping methods for current situations, past pains, or future worries.
Thriveworks Savannah Counseling for Students is open to any topic. There’s never too-big or too-small reason for counseling, all are welcome! If we aren’t the best fit for you and your student, we can help you find the person who is. Your student deserves to have a happy, fulfilling life. We are determined to help them get there!
Sometimes, students will withdraw when they’re struggling, making the decision to reach out even more difficult. Thank you for having the courage to do so! To help you, here are a few signs that could point towards an unhealthy mental state.
Thriveworks Savannah strives to make all our Student Counseling sessions unique. In part because the student’s struggles are always unique, and in part because they are always unique!
Our counselors will also always keep the focus of the session on your student, they are the most important person in the room. We meet you where you’re at and work from there. Even when it doesn’t seem like it, there is always hope.
Some of the issues we might address in a Counseling for Students session include:
At times, it can feel like the only way to have a happy, fulfilling life is to grind through school and just take whatever life throws at you. But your student also deserves to be healthy and happy in their day-to-day life. It won’t always be perfect, but it shouldn’t be miserable either! If you or your student could benefit from Student Counseling, give us a call today. Thriveworks Savannah is excited to start building the life you deserve!
