About Mechelle
Dr. Mechelle Jungsten is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like parenting strain, relationship conflict, addictive behaviors, and struggles with self-esteem and career direction.
She uses a practical, solution-focused style that helps people spot the unhelpful thinking that keeps them stuck. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral ideas and other approaches to change patterns of behavior and feeling. The aim is to uncover strengths and build small, workable steps forward.
Her background includes a doctorate in behavioral health and a master’s degree in counseling psychology. That clinical training informs how she blends tools from different models to fit each person’s situation. She also brings health and wellness coaching skills into conversations about habits and motivation.
In therapy she listens for what matters most to each person and tailors interventions to real life. Work often focuses on breaking cycles like compulsive eating, substance use, or avoidance driven by low mood. She encourages practical experiments and clearer decision steps so progress is visible.
People who reach out can expect a calm, direct approach that aims to restore perspective and hope. Dr. Jungsten frames therapy as a partnership where clients can rediscover goals and move toward them in manageable ways. She invites people to take a first step toward change.
