About me…

I also help individuals (adults and children) who want to find calm and to feel secure in life, but who find themselves struggling with intense feelings of anxiety.  This can show up as general anxiety that never seems to go away, or as panic attacks, or obsessive and compulsive behaviors (ODC).  Many people who are highly sensitive people (HSP) also find themselves facing daily feelings of fear and worry.

I support clients in exploring their history and gaining insight into how past experiences and relationships influenced them.  Patterns emerge that they may not have been aware of, and change can happen that results in being excited about life again. Clients learn new skills that help them to cope with challenging circumstances and propel them towards their goals and dreams.

My experience has taught me that everything you need to live your best life is already inside. Sometimes you just need some help to find it.  You’ll be amazed at the changes you can make when you’re ready to work and invest in yourself.  The process of therapy can bring about growth faster than ever before.  

I believe that each of us can live a fulfilling life, a life that feels connected, healthy, and safe.  If you’re ready to begin exploring what’s holding you back and figuring out your next steps, then give me a call or text at 720-984-1193  or drop me an email at mmanning@mightyacorntherapy.com.  You have the power to change your future.

Hi, I’m Michelle Manning.  I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate.  More specifically, I am someone who helps people to see that, like the acorn that transforms into the mighty oak, they have everything within them to be the person they want to be and have the life they want to lead.

I specialize in working with those who have been hurt by growing up with dysfunctional family dynamics, such as:  addiction, abuse, highly critical/perfectionistic parenting, and/or narcissism. 

Those who grew up with these family situations find themselves struggling and frustrated in life, even though they’re working hard and trying to do all the right things. Symptoms such as low self-worth, failing relationships, anxiety, depression, guilt, and hypervigilance, are just some of the symptoms they may be experiencing.
