Michelle Hudasko, MA, LPC, IBCLC

Michelle has been supporting parents and caring for infants for over 15 years. She completed her Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Immaculata University with a focus on maternal and infant psychology and mental health. She is also currently working towards her perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) through Postpartum Support International (PSI). Her combined experience as a postpartum doula and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) bring a broad range of skills to her work as a therapist.

Michelle has gained valuable insight from her hands-on work assisting families through a variety of parenting styles and feeding choices. She specializes in guiding parents through weaning and feeding difficulties, caring for babies with colic or special needs, and exploring the personal transformations that take place during each stage of parenthood. She also enjoys supporting people while they navigate their reproductive journeys, feel through the intense anxiety and depression that can accompany parenthood, and as they learn to balance a life with post traumatic stress.

Michelle takes an eclectic approach to therapy by utilizing psychodynamic, person-centered, and existential theories; while incorporating practical coping skills and management techniques to help individuals work through the challenges that they encounter on their perinatal journeys. Michelle has a special interest and experience in supporting people with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, body positivity and self-image, infant feeding challenges, transitions to parenthood, relationship changes, and supporting the choice or chance of being child free and its impact on identity development. Areas of growing interest include: impacts of evolving reproductive healthcare rights and sexuality for pleasure and self empowerment.
