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!

No. The symptoms of depression vary from teenagers to adults. In certain instances, teenagers are moody or down a lot of the time. This can make it hard to tell when they are truly depressed. Teenagers who are truly depressed regularly seem irritable and they can get easily “bothered” or “annoyed.” Also, they may even pick fights with people. Correspondingly, when treating a teen, doctors and nurses frequently recommend trying counseling first, before trying medicine. This is because there is a significant chance that depression medications can cause complications for some teenagers.
If you are having trouble coping because of your depression symptoms, you should see a Thriveworks Woodstock Depression Therapist or Counselor who is trained in identifying the signs and symptoms in order to start therapy as soon as possible. In fact, our office is conveniently located and discrete.
