Michele Bograd PhD

Dr. Michele Bograd, Ph.D. practicing as a psychologist is both a pleasure and a privilege, as Bograd brought into the most intimate moments and struggles of people's lives, catalyzing and witnessing deep healing. Bograd is an engaged, steady, active, fearless, boundaries and collaborative psychotherapist with over 30 years in private practice and a nationally recognized teacher and writer as well. Bograd focuses on possibility and growth, rather than on limiting definitions of pathology. Bograd is dedicated to results entwined with enhanced connection and understanding. Bograd is passionate about and committed to work.

Bograd blends many ways of working with clients to disentangle past history, trauma, familiar but self-defeating patterns, and emotional reactivity or turmoil. These clinical paradigms include systemic theories, psychodynamic frameworks, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems theory, and trauma theories. Highly experienced in helping with a wide range of human concerns and suffering, Bograd comfortably treats depression, panic and anxiety, life stage changes such as the birth of a child or retirement, infidelity, premarital counseling for couples who want to solidify their foundation, parenting, and blended family issues, adoption, divorce and separation, grief, self-esteem issues, a family of origin relationships, gender identity exploration, couples seeking to heal major rifts or estrangement, the work/family balancing act and developing a fuller capacity for intimacy and connection.
