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!

At Thriveworks, Life transitions counseling is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals navigate major life changes, adjustments, and transitions. The specific approach and techniques used in this type of therapy can vary depending on the individual’s needs and the nature of the transition. Life transitions counseling is designed to provide support, coping strategies, and a safe space for individuals to explore and process their experiences.
Life transitions counseling starts with an initial assessment where the therapist gathers information about your specific transition, emotional state, concerns, and goals. In this supportive and non-judgmental space, you can process the myriad of emotions that often accompany life transitions, including stress, anxiety, and grief. The counseling process also focuses on helping you to adapt to changing circumstances, set new goals, make informed decisions, maintain healthy relationships, explore evolving identities, and access ongoing support throughout the transition.
Life transitions are difficult because they alter our sense of what is \\\\\\\”normal,\\\\\\\” affecting our relationships, routines, work life, home environment, health, and much more.
The best way to make your life transitions easier is to seek the assistance of a counselor who can offer you Life transitions counseling to help address and adapt to the changes you are experiencing.
Life transitions counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of life transitions counseling can differ widely, depending on an individual’s specific needs and the changes happening in their life. Typically, this counseling is short-term, spanning several sessions over a few weeks or months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are decided in consultation with the counselor, considering how the individual is progressing and what they want to achieve.
Sometimes, life throws you a curveball. Sometimes, that curve ball can feel more like a ton of bricks hitting you than anything.
Life transitions can be a really good thing! They are a sign that your life is moving forward and taking a new, exciting twist. They could also be the result of a bad thing, an accident or diagnosis you weren’t expecting, or big news that shatters your 5-year plan.
Good or bad, life transitions can be terrifying. Sometimes, the mental and emotional impact of a life transition can be too much to carry on your own. This is where Thriveworks Savannah Life Transition Coaches can step in and help carry the load until you settle into your new routine.
Counseling is rarely a long-term commitment. Most people are out within a few months, maybe a year or two. Counseling for life transitions with Thriveworks Savannah is more likely to be a short-term relationship. We will always be here for you and are just a phone call away if something else crops up, but sometimes, all you need is a few months of unconditional, loving support. That’s what our counselors love to give!
There is nothing weak about wanting a counselor with you as you navigate this new life transition. Sure, maybe your next-door neighbor’s best friend’s cousin went through something similar and came out fine, but you aren’t them! You’re you and you deserve the best life possible, one that is fulfilling and full of joy. A Thriveworks Savannah counselor will work with you to get there.
And the truth is- sometimes not getting help can be detrimental. When life stressors pile on top of each other and the future is unknown, negative side affects can take root and affect you for years to come. If you are experiencing some of the following, it might be worth checking in to a professional counselor:
These are of course only a few of the potential symptoms a tough life change might bring. It all comes down to the one question- are you happy with where you are in life right now? Mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, all of it! If the answer is no, a Thriveworks Savannah Life Transition Counselor can help.
With something as broad as life transition counseling, there’s no bullet pointed way of describing what might go on in a Thriveworks Savannah session. This is because we always guarantee to be client-centered and judgement-free.
This means our focus will always be on you- your personality, situation, and goals. Since that will be unique to every person, so will our sessions.
To be judgment free means you are welcome to bring anything to a counseling session and we will unpack and explore it without judgment in an empathetic environment designed to give you the freedom to practice new skills and unlearn bad ones.
The goal of counseling for life transitions is to simply transition you to a new stage of life with all your health and happiness still intact! When in the middle of a big change, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s important, who you are, what your main goals are, and the importance of taking care of yourself. Thriveworks Savannah Life Transitions is here to be that light and guide that will walk beside you as we traverse this new terrain.
While you are welcome to bring anything into a Thriveworks Savannah counseling session, we do see a few topics more commonly than others. A few examples of what we might talk about in a life transitions session include:
These are just a few of the topics that can be discussed with a Thriveworks Savannah counselor! Whatever you are going through, you don’t have to go through it alone. Thriveworks Savannah is here for you and we are excited to work with you through this new phase of life.
