A Place to Heal, Grow, and Begin Again

About Lotus Renewed Counseling

At Lotus Renewed Counseling, I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can work through life's challenges at your own pace. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or life transitions, we'll work together to help you build confidence, find balance, and create meaningful change.

Meet Your Therapist

Michelle Vermilye, LCSW, LCDC.

Licensed in Texas and New Mexico.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are, without judgment or expectations of where you should be in your healing journey. I strive to create an environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring difficult experiences, and working toward meaningful change.

Beyond my professional experience, I bring a personal understanding of life's challenges and transitions. As a longtime military spouse, I've experienced the unique demands of military life, including deployments, extended separations, and the challenges of balancing family, relationships, and personal well-being. These experiences have shaped my appreciation for resilience, adaptability, and the importance of having support during difficult seasons of life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I have experience helping individuals navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My clinical work includes trauma, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), substance use and addiction recovery, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and significant life transitions. I understand that everyone's experiences are different, and I believe therapy should reflect your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

I believe therapy is more than clinical techniques and professional expertise. It's about genuine human connection, feeling understood, and having a space where you don't have to carry everything alone.

Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop new perspectives, and find approaches that support your individual needs and goals.
