About Michelle Hession

Michelle Hession, LCSW

Revealing your vulnerabilities to a therapist can be a difficult task, but I believe you will find me to be empathetic, honest and easy to talk to. Every part of you will be welcome.

My mission is to provide you with a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to work, explore, create and move towards reaching your goals. We will work collaboratively to resolve your current challenges. My approach to therapy is spiritually and culturally sensitive, and tailored to meet your needs.  I love working with couples, blended families, stepparents, women overcoming a narcissistic partner and singles trying to figure out how to get the relationship they want.

Originally from Louisiana, I have been a resident of Georgia since 2007. My social work experience includes the school system setting as well as several community counseling agencies and the non-profit sector. Since 2012 I have worked as the Clinical Care Director and primary psychotherapist for Key Counseling Group, focusing on making sure our clinicians are the best fit for you and meeting your needs! 

Think we might be a good fit? Contact me today for a free consultation to learn more about how we can work together.
